Easy Blueberry Cake

I needed a last minute dessert and I had a fridge full of blueberries. This cake came to mind right away. I have made this blueberry cake before and it is really good. Not overly sweet- it can be served plain- or dressed up any number of ways. It is also simple to make. Just a few ingredients- you can have it mixed before the oven is finished preheating. I think I’ll top mine with cherries and vanilla ice cream.

Easy Blueberry Cake

2 c. biscuit mix*
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. milk
2 T. oil
1 egg
1 1/2 c. blueberries

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9×9-inch pan. Beat all ingredients together, except berries, for about 30 seconds. Fold in berries and pour into prepared pan. Bake for about 35 minutes. Cake should be golden brown on top and test clean with a toothpick. Serve warm.

*Like Bisquick or Jiffy mix. I make my own. Recipe follows.

Biscuit Mix

8 c. flour
1 c. powdered milk
1 c. powdered buttermilk (or 1 more cup powdered milk)
1/4 c. baking powder
1 T. salt
1 1/2 c. shortening*

Combine dry ingredients and cut in shortening until well mixed. Store in tightly covered container. Makes 10 cups.

* You can use butter instead, but keep mix in fridge and use in a couple of months. You can also use coconut oil- also best to keep this version in the fridge.
