Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour approximately 9 ounces
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine softened (NOT melted)
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

For the topping:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup walnuts finely chopped 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine

For the drizzle: (optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk more or less to get to a drizzling consistency

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray or grease a 9-inch square baking pan. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut butter into small pieces. Add egg, milk, butter and lemon peel; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. You may need to finish mixing with your hands to get all the flour incorporated. the batter will be very thick.
  • Fold in the blueberries. Because the batter is so thick, this may take a few minutes. Spread into a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
  • For topping, combine sugar, flour, walnuts and cinnamon in a mini food processor or bowl. Add butter and process, or cut in if doing by hand, until mixture is crumbly. I like to do this with my fingers so I can tell when it's ready by touch. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake tests done.
  • For drizzle, combine the powdered sugar and milk. If too thick, add a few drops of additional milk at a time until it reaches drizzling consistency. Drizzles over the top of the cake and allow to sit until sugar solidifies.

Notes

  • This cake has a very thick batter that will have to be spread into the pan rather than poured. It's also very important to make sure you are measuring your flour properly so that you don't end up with more than you are supposed to. Always measure flour using the "scoop and sweep" method.
  • Several of our readers have successfully made this in a 13x9 by doubling the recipe. Follow the baking instructions and check at 40 minutes.

Life is not always easy...

Sometimes we don’t always understand why things happen in life. Who we ended up where we are? What we could’ve done different? Honestly you are who you are because of the challenges and battles you’ve fought.  Was it fun? No..  Did you learn from it? Maybe. Do you have to go through it again?  Yes if you didn’t get it the first time.  Does this make you an awful person? No....just means there was something you didn’t learn and get the first time. Life is not always easy and sometimes feels like when will the mountain move.  Like really I’m tired of climbing. Sometimes you have to get so tired of being tired. Tired of struggling and fighting against the waves. Sometimes you have to ride with the waves. Even sometimes drop everything and put yourself first.  I thought it was always selfish and did for everybody else.  Even when my husband said honey go treat yourself.  Sometimes you feel like you don’t deserve it and that taking care of othe...

💪💖💪 Your Morning Muscle Maximizer 💪💖💪 ✅ Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? There continues to be enormous media attention and controversy surrounding the topic. In fact, it’s one of the “hottest” nutrition topics that affects all of us on our journey to optimal health and fitness. Unfortunately, the truth of whether breakfast is an important start to a productive day is often missed or neglected. ✅ Despite a flurry of recent news articles suggesting that breakfast eaters are not healthier than breakfast skippers, research suggests that the answer to this question is more complex than that. As a definition of “healthier,” we mean improved body weight control and body composition management and in some cases better brain power and mental performance. ✅ First, most of the published research on the topic of breakfast and health has compared only two conditions: 1) skipping breakfast or 2) eating a high-carbohydrate breakfast. As you would expect, the condit...
