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.

Don’t...

Don’t be held captive by your thoughts... #motivationalmonday This hit me like a brick.  For so long I let myself be a prisoner by my thoughts, how I felt when I looked in the mirror, insecurities, lack of self confidence and now I feel like a whole new person!  I’m thankful that Jesus helped me through some of my darkest storms. Even when I feel alone, I know He is right beside me. Not to mention the amazing family I’ve been gifted.  I’m truly blessed.   Life is important. 👉 YOU 👈 are important.   Hope you have an awesome day and Happy New Year!

How important is breakfast...

Eight Reasons to Start Your Day With a Protein-Dense Shake.....  Your mom always told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Of course, mom’s always right. But does the science back her recommendation up? From an array of studies, scientists have demonstrated the efficacy of breakfast for a variety of health benefits. The number of these benefits also increase if that early morning meal is higher in protein, particularly in the form of a protein-dense shake. Here is a running list that should give you more reasons to start every day with a nutritious, high-protein meal. Or, better yet, a protein-dense meal-replacement shake: 1. Improved Concentration and Memory From large observational trials, mainly targeted toward children, breakfast is shown to be strongly associated with improved concentration and memory (1) Scientists suggest that this is due to breakfast’s immediate impact on blood sugar to fuel young brains (2,3).
