To make my  yummy blueberry breakfast cake I used unsalted butter, dry lemon and orange zest, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla extract, cake flour (I also set aside some flour to toss with blueberries. Other ingredients were baking powder, salt, coconut flakes (which I find the perfect match to the blueberries) and of course, buttermilk. I used fresh and firm blueberries but frozen can be used too.

I preheated the oven then creamed the room temperature butter with powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Then I added in the orange and lemon zest, the egg and vanilla extract and coconut flakes. I tossed the blueberries with flour, then whisked together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt. The blueberries need a gentle fold, especially if fresh blueberries are used.

I spread the batter into the pan and sprinkled with sugar. After baking, I left the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
