It was a beautiful day. As soon as you would get hot, the sun would go behind the clouds and you would cool off. While we were there Channel 7 news was their filming us picking the blueberries. We ended up on the 6:00 news' piece about the fund-raising event.
I decided to make a Blueberry Coffee Cake Sunday morning with some of the blueberries.
Favorite Coffee Cake (Blueberry Buckle version)
Cake Ingredients
2 cups Flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening (I used butter)
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 cups well drained blueberries
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease round layer pan, 9x1 1/2 inches, or square pan, 8x8x2 or 9x9x2 inches. (Note: I used a 8x8x2 pan. My mother uses a 9x13 inch pan and bakes for less time. I will probably make it next time in a 9x13) Blend all ingredients except blueberries; beat vigorously for 1/2 minute. Carefully stir blueberries into batter.
Sprinkle Topping (recipe below) over batter in pan. Bake for 45 to 50min. (until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean)
Topping Recipe:
Mix together 1/2 sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup soft butter.
*A side note: I measured out all of my dry ingredients and left out my butter the night before I made this.
The coffee cake was yummy!! I have frozen blueberries to make another one and some muffins this winter.

I'm always on the look out for new blueberry recipes. My godmother has a blueberry farm and I end up with LOTS of fresh & frozen berries! You must have some fun ideas for wrapping gifts, too!

How fun! Being from Phoenix I am always so jealous of those that get to pick their own fruit! We have very few opportunities for that! Looks like you had so much fun. Your recipe looks amazing as well!

This looks great, while I'm not a blueberry fan my husband and kids are so I'll have to try them! I'd love it if you'd link up to my Topsy Turvy Tuesday's tomorrow!
This was too funny! This weekend I told my husband I wanted to take the kids to a farm and he said the only farm we can go to is a blueberry farm right now so he declined. It looks pretty awesome in your pics! Thanks for sharing! :-)
Sounds delish! I've never made it with the sprinkle topping before, I'll give it a try for sure!
