I think you’ll also love this Blueberry and Lemon Loaf Cake, the flavour is incredible. Yet another favourite cake recipe of ours is Cinnamon Bun Cake. YUM!
Nothing beats what comes from farms, don’t you agree?
We have dear friends that are local farmers, and it’s been an eye-opener for this city girl, for many reasons. Since meeting them, I have been introduced to the most amazing meals and dishes. Even some foods that I never liked at all, I tried out of politeness while there, and loved it.
I cannot give enough kudos to the Mrs. of the farm, she’s always in the kitchen and making meals for dozens. Even when just the immediate family is home, you just never know who’ll stop by to help in the fields or in the barn – and being invited to dinner is a must.
So, if making that Thanksgiving dinner wore you out – imagine doing that every day.
Recently I came across the Farmer Favourites section in the collection of recipes at Eggs.ca. Since I know all too well that great things come from farms, recipes included, a smile spread across my face when I discovered this section.
When browsing through the featured Farmer Favourites recipes, I spotted a recipe for Blueberry Cake, and knew I had to make it that day.
After all, this summer I hoarded fresh blueberries from the market, and froze a bunch of bags for baking this Fall and Winter. Perfection.
Yet, it’s the story with the recipe that also caught my eye, “Nova Scotia wild blueberries and a crunchy brown sugar and cinnamon topping flavour this easy cake from Jill and Sharon. Enjoy it plain, or top each serving with lightly sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Courtesy of: Jill and Sharon Thomas – 1st and 2nd Generation Egg Farmers”

It’s simple and so delicious. Enjoy!

I love blueberries in baked goods, no doubt. I have been searching for a Gluten Free recipe for sometime. Your recipe I believe I can make, just by substituting the flour for my GF flour. Oh I hope it turns out just as good! Yum! 🙂
Oh, I TOTALLY agree! We have some local farmer friends and it really is such an eye opening experience, especially if you know nothing about where your food comes from. It’s enough to make me want my own small farm someday 🙂
I love that the egg farmers are doing more for the children that need it, that says so much about them! The blueberry cake looks amazing, my youngest loves blueberries so I will have to make this for him.
