It is Mother’s Day today and I am firmly planted in bed awaiting my breakfast!! This is one treat that I so enjoy and look forward to. A nice magazine and maybe a nap afterward, HEAVEN!! This is my day to relax and enjoy and that doesn’t happen very often.
Today’s recipe, Blueberry Breakfast Cake is one that a child can make. So easy yet incredibly delicious!! You don’t even need to dirty a mixer, all is simply mixed by hand.
Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used for this recipe. They are just laid onto the bottom of the dish and the batter is poured over.
I have been intrigued about how a dump cake would turn out or a spoon cake. Two cakes I have not made before. Looking up dump cake, most of them used a cake mix and canned fruit. I had gorgeous blueberries from last season in the freezer, so I wanted to use those. I also made an easy cake from scratch.
The cake turned out light and fluffy and then the blueberry bottom was perfect, it cooked up into the cake so with each bite you receive a fresh burst of blueberries.
This really is a piece of cake to make and enjoy. I wanted something super easy for Mother’s Day and I think I hit the nail on the head with this recipe. My family couldn’t get enough of it. Amber in particular has been raving over it. She adores blueberries!!
