Blueberry Breakfast Cake
- Details
For the past one week, every time I sat down to put up a post in the blog, something or the other would come up. Some days back, while having discussions during dinner, J casually mentioned that he really liked the bluebbery flavour. He was raving about the blueberry cheesecake he had at some hotel. That’s when I remembered that I had some dried blueberries in stock. That very moment, I decided to make something using the blueberries. I had already saved a recipe from Epicurious. The only change I made was to use blueberries instead of cranberries used in the original recipe.
The result was an amazingly soft and flavourful breakfast cake.
