A trip to up Boston for my Wellesley reunion this past weekend meant that I wasn’t able to make this Blueberry-Brown Sugar Plain Cake until this morning. Glad I got around to it though, because it is just plain good. It has a hint of cinnamon, a kiss of brown sugar and a big whomp of blueberries. With almost as much fruit as batter, I think it should stay moist for a good long time…although I won’t find out, because we’ll be polishing it off for breakfast tomorrow! (Hey–don’t judge–I only made half a recipe…we can’t eat that much cake in two days!)
For the recipe, see Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan (it’s also here on Culinate) or read Everyday Insanity, as it was Cindy’s pick this week. Don’t forget to check out the TWD Blogroll!
P.S.: I forgot to mention that I swapped out some of the AP for spelt flour, one of my favorite flours to use in muffins and fruity cakes like this. Also, I think this cake would be tasty with raspberries, and I may try that out later in the season.

Looks just beautiful. This was tasty and delicious, I must say. I’m thinking this will be a fine breakfast for me in the morning as well….great suggestion.

This is a perfect little snack cake. Definitely a repeat. Caramel and tart blue berries. What’s not to love.
Those of yours are amazing.

That’s a lovely cross-section shot of your cake – beautiful, Wellesley! (I’m a Smithie, hee hee.)

It does look lovely and moist. I just love big, fat sweet blueberries (not the season though here in New Zealand).

There is a simplistic beauty in this cake and how you photographed it that I absolutely love.
