Blueberry Almond Breakfast Cake is the perfect combination of blueberry and almond in a tender butter cake. This recipe comes together so easily with just a handful of ingredients you will find yourself whipping it up all year long. Perfect for making any time of year with fresh or frozen fruit.
Costco has had some really great looking berries this summer. I keep buying more and at some point I ended up with too many to fit in my fridge.
Well, instead of buying a new fridge (which is what I really wanted to do) I decided to whip up a simple blueberry cake.
With just a handful of ingredients this amazing simple cake came together.
The addition of almond extract in the batter and toasted almonds on top really enhance the sweet blueberries in this tender buttery cake.
The almond topping is sprinkled on before it goes into the oven, leaving nothing to do when it cools, but enjoy a slice or 3.<
This has been our most popular cake all year. I actually made 3 of these cakes before I managed to get a shot.
Mind you every time someone pops over I am sure to feed them before they leave. My friend Heather popped over and got a taste. She swears it tastes just like a coffee cake, but better.
I found myself picking at this cake every time it was on the counter top because is it sooo good.
So, I cut it up and tossed it in the freezer for safe keeping.
Then my father-in-law came by and picked up the last batch. Whew! Crisis averted. Needless to say the cake freezes perfectly and you are going to love it.
