INGREDIENTS

2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cups (12 tablespoons) salted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
12 ounces fresh blueberries (or frozen and thawed)
1 cup sliced almonds

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, (or a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer), beat sugar and eggs for 5 minutes with a mixer on medium. The volume of mixture will increase by almost half and will be thickened and light in color.
Add butter and extracts and beat for 2 more minutes. Slowly add flour and beat until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
Using a spatula, pour and smooth batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle almonds on top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before serving, or the cake will crack. If you can't wait, just know it will taste amazing!
NOTES

Use a serrated knife to cut the cake.
Cake freezes beautifully. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and then place in a resealable freezer bag. Remove as desired. Allow thawing for 10-15 minutes on the counter before eating. The cake will keep for up to 6 months.

Gently fold in raspberries. Cherries, blackberries, strawberries or peaches.

I replace the almonds with a streusel topping (from a King Arthur Flour cookbook):

Streusel:

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter

Cake:

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup milk

2 cups fresh blueberries

Topping: Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in bowl. Rub in butter with fingers until it is a crumbly mixture.

Cake: Toss blueberries with 2 tbsp flour in small bowl.

Whisk 1 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp flour, baking powder, and salt in a second bowl.

Cream sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla with electric mixer in a third bowl. Beat in milk to blend. Beat in flour mixture until batter is smooth.

Gently fold in blueberies until just blended.

Pour into greased 9" cake pan. Sprinkle topping over batter.

Bake for 45 minutes. Set pan on rack to cool for 10 minutes.

@deepwaterdotter This also sounds like a scrumptious recipe. Thank you for sharing this with us.

yoo hoo auntie @butterfly123

I have coffee in hand and we are waiting for you to drop off a slice or 2.

Re: 🥣 Blueberry Almond Breakfast Cake

Yahooey — Wed, 15 May 2019 15:24:28 GMT

yoo hoo @aroc3435

you can drop off a slice or 2 in case @butterfly123 's DH polished off the whole thing

I think streusel topping w/almonds would be PERFECTION

@Yahooey Okay. I'd better get my "baking shoes" on. I agree that combining the almonds AND streusel would only add to the scrumptiousness.

Have a wonderful day. Sun is finally out here in DC and the temp is climbing from the below normal 51 degrees for days to finally hit the 70s. Pure bliss!

Wish I could reach through the screen for a slice. Wondering if chopped rhubarb could be used. It's starting to ripen in my area.

@AuntG

I wonder if you cooked the rhubarb for a bit and then added to the batter.
