BUTTERMILK-BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST CAKE

 

This cake is a long-time family favorite. My mother made it for my siblings and me when we were young, and every time I pull it out of the oven, clichè as it sounds, I am reminded of summer mornings in my childhood kitchen. It's simple, adaptable, and make aheadable 🙂

 

Yield: 12 to 16 pieces

 

Ingredients

• ½ cup (8 tablespoons | 4 oz | 113 g ) unsalted butter, room temperature
