This cake looks great and I will definitely try those cupcakes, they sound awesome x
I’m right there with you husband – I adore blueberries! This cake looks absolutely delicious :).
I’ve bought a whole bunch of reduced price ingredients at TJ Maxx and Marshalls – I always scope out their food section!
*your husband, not you husband 😉
In the ingredients you have listed yogurt but in the instructions you have buttermilk…can you just clarify which it is? I am going to the store and want to buy what I need to make this today!
Gia – Sorry for the confusion – I have updated the recipe instructions. I used yogurt instead of buttermilk like the original recipe states. Either one would work just fine.
This cake looks amazing. Great photos.
the only reason why i like blueberries is cos they are good for eyesight! haha. your cake looks delectable (:
We blueberries,t oo. Actually we love all berries and they pair well with both almond and lemon.
Btw, No way would we thing of leaving off that yummy glaze.
