WHAT IS THIS???
Just a birthday cake gone wrong... but it tasted so good! Tomorrow is super hubby's birthday and we had a little celebration for him tonight. I tried to make a blueberry coffee cake look more festive by making it as a layer cake, but the food coloring and I had a minor fight. It may look like a swamp monster, but like I said, it sure tasted good!
Here is the whole cake. It is one of my favorite cake recipes. Usually I put it in a 9x13 pan.
Here is the recipe if you'd like to try it. Please avoid using food coloring though!
Blueberry Coffee Cake
1/2 c shortening
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
4 c flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 c blueberries (I use frozen)
Mix first four ingredients and then slowly mix in dry ingredients. Add in blueberries. The mixture will be very thick. Spread mixture in a 9x13 in. pan.
TOPPING:
1 c brown sugar
2/3 c flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c shortening or butter
Mix topping into crumbs and put on top of batter before baking.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Enjoy!
I also have a friend who has a birthday tomorrow, too. I made her a cute little needle book. She likes to sew, too. I know that she will appreciate it.
