It is that blueberry pickin’ time of year again and because of all the rain that delayed picking, the berries are extra large! Perfect for a quick and easy Blueberry Boy Bait cake!
This is one of the very first recipes I made as a new bride many years ago and it has been a favorite we never grow tired of. I have substituted blackberries and raspberries for an equally delicious cake perfect for breakfast or desert. ummm… imagine a large dollop of sweet whipped cream atop these pieces 🙂
Baked in a 9-inch by 13-inch pan, Blueberry Boy Bait travels well.
It freezes well too. Here it is cut into serving size pieces and placed in a freezer safe container. Ready whenever you want a piece, it thaws quickly and tastes like it was just baked.
Look at these beautiful blues…
Simple ingredients go into the cake…
Sugar and cinnamon topping ready…
Adding the sugar.
Adding the eggs.
The beat for three minutes…
Dot the top with berries ~ I add about 1 1/2 cups
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar… and bake!
