Blueberry Gingerbread is moist, flavorful, and bursting with fresh blueberries. It's full of all the spice you expect from a wonderful gingerbread ... plus packed with little surprises of blueberry sweetness in each bite.

What? Blueberry gingerbread? Yes, blueberry gingerbread - and oh my it's tasty! This is one of those recipes I found out in the blogosphere and thought, hmmmm, that could be really wonderful or a complete flop. So I put it on my "50 Recipes for 2011" list so it would be in queue to be tried. It turned out to be really wonderful!
Bursting with fresh blueberries, Blueberry Gingerbread is moist and flavorful ~ full of all the spice you expect from a wonderful gingerbread ... plus little surprises of blueberry sweetness in each bite.
Dusting the blueberries with flour before folding them into the batter helps keep them from all just sinking to the bottom of the cake, resulting in Blueberry Gingerbread studded with berries throughout ... instead of just a layer of gingerbread cake with a bunch of blueberries at the bottom.
Believe me, the combination of gingerbread and blueberries is soooo yummy, you'll certainly want to make sure you get some of those blueberries in every bite!
Pour the batter into a baking pan, bake it all up ...
I think I may just go enjoy a slice right now - there's still a {little} bit left. {But I doubt it will last long!}
Thank you for stopping by The Kitchen is My Playground. We'd love to have you back soon!

This looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a sifter either. Never thought it was a big deal!
Do you make up some recipes too or change many to your taste sometimes? Love this idea...keem 'em coming :)
ReplyDeleteNina - For the most part, I tinker with existing recipes to change them to my taste. I very rarely just leave a recipe alone. By the time I'm done with some of them, they may as well be my own! I do sometimes entirely make up my own.
ReplyDeleteNow this one looks like my style Tracey
