I love the addition of fresh blueberries in this yummilicious blueberry cake recipe, so summery and refreshing! But the buttermilk is pure magic, I tell ya’! No other ingredient makes a cake this fluff and airy, just like a puffy, ful of amazing flavors cloud!

And have you ever tried mixing blueberries, coconut flakes, lemon and orange zest? Ah-mazing!! This blueberry breakfast cake is packed full of flavors and is literally melting in your mouth from the very first bite to the last (that’s when you’ll basically start crying then head back to the kitchen to make more of this heavenly blueberry cake!)

This easy blueberry cake is my newest addiction and I think it pairs perfectly with my morning coffee or a glass of milk. Great summer breakfast recipe that could easily pass as a dessert too (or both, I wont judge!). Just make this once and you’ll want to make this recipe over and over again, I promise!

Blueberry Breakfast Cake

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.
