  1. Great recipe! There are loads of blueberry cake & muffin recipes, and this one is one of the most delicious I have ever tried. I chose to make muffins and they puffed up so huge and lovely - so chock full of dark navy blue steaks of blueberries - really, I can see why she calls this "Blue" berry cake! These looked just like coffeehouse muffins but tasted much better. Note: Make sure you grease & flour the muffin tins very well - including the top of the pan, as the when making muffins, the tops grow over the sides a big (to create that great coffehouse look)and they can be tricky to remove. I let mine cool 30 minutes before attempting to retireve them from the pan and then gently loosened the tops and sides with a butter knife. One for the permanent recipe file at home for sure.
     
  2. This is my second review and much more favorable than my first!!!!! thanks to some encouragement from the contributor. Was so surprised that we did not taste all the baking soda so perhaps it is the combination of it and the fresh milk. Whatever, they are great so thanks again for giving me the push to try them. Forgive the doubting Thomas......!!!!
     
  3. These are VERY good! I think they are super sweet, though I don't eat a lot of added sugar so perhaps my palate is different than previous reviewers. Very moist and blueberry-y. I did make some adjustments though. 1.) white whole wheat flour (about 3/4 cup for every cup regular) 2.) 1/2 tsp cinnamon 3.) I filled the muffin pan almost to the very top! And 4.) took them out at 22 mins Thanks for the recipe!
     
  4. Easy to make & simply tasty. I didn't had blueberry so I used marion berry instead & still worked. =) Sure I'll make another one again but I'll add more sugar. It was delish but not sweet for me. tnx for posting.
     
  5. I used blueberries that I froze last summer, so there was no sugar added to them, and I think that this might have made a difference. I liked these cupcakes, but I was not crazy about them. To me, it just seemed like a cornbread/cake mix with berries dropped in them-- nothing too special. I would be willing to try them again with some added lemon juice and maybe a touch more sugar.

  1. I'm with Heather here... GREAT recipe! This makes a delicious tender and deliciously blueberry-filled cake. I made a few subs- used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white, sucanat (dehydrated cane juice) instead of sugar and I actually used buttermilk instead of the milk (I have some to use up). I omitted the salt (I usually do in baked goods... I don't miss it, and I figure, if I don't miss it, I don't need it!) Really, really delcious. I love the amount of blueberries- mmm! I actually used frozen organic wild blueberries, which worked well, but I think I should have perhaps brought the batter to room temperature before sticking it in the oven, because I think the fact that the blueberries were frozen affected the cooking of my loaf. Usually in other recipes I've made it doesn't seem to matter whether you use frozen or fresh, but I guess since there are so many in this recipe it made a difference. Anyway, it cooked up just fine in the end... I ended up tenting it with foil for the last 15 minutes or so (I cooked it about 60-70 minutes total) because I felt that it was getting a tad brown on top. I ended up with a very dark loaf (not sure why...?). Just great flavor. BF suggested the addition of a little lemon juice or zest, which I think is a good idea. This is a great and very berry-ful cake, and I think that touch would really make it shine. Anyway, thanks for a great recipe. I tend to be a little adverse to eating fruit and this is a great way to have my cake and eat it too! ;) A keeper!
