Blueberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake

November 5, 2014 ·

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Frozen Food Foundation for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Blueberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake is a sweet, tangy vanilla cake bursting with juicy blueberries throughout. So simple, delicious and easy!

All summer, I was planning to make a blueberry buttermilk cake, however my family eats through containers of blueberries so quickly, I never had enough to make the cake. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I ran across this recipe for a Lemon Blueberry Cake. With a few modifications, I thought this recipe could become a perfect Blueberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake. I became obsessed with making this recipe, despite our love for everything pumpkin this time of year. Mid-fall is not really blueberry season.

Then I was at the grocery store, picking up the usual frozen peas and corn for the kids, and it hit me…frozen blueberries! Frozen blueberries (and fruits and vegetables in general) are a much more affordable, convenient and easy to serve option. I tossed a bag in my basket and looked forward to creating a Blueberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake!…

Carrot Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Swirl #SundaySupper

April 20, 2014 ·

Nothing says Springtime (or Easter) quite like a carrot cake, and this Carrot Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Swirl is no exception. The cake is a classic, moist and delicious carrot cake, and inside is a beautiful swirl of sweetened cream cheese.

I wanted to make a new carrot cake-inspired recipe this year and was deciding between waffles and this cake. Then Adam chimed in with a suggestion for carrot muffins. He claimed to have a good recipe and assured me ‘they are very easy to make.’ I was definitely intrigued by this good and easy recipe by my 4 year old, so asked how to make them. Here is his recipe:

Chewy Lemon Sugar Cookies are the ultimate chewy sugar cookie with a lemon twist. These are a perfect Springtime treat to welcome the season!

While it may technically be spring, Minnesota temperatures remain chilly (think single digits, brr!) It is this time of year, the transition from winter to spring, that lemon desserts are wonderful. Berries are not quite in season, and lemon is like a bite of sunshine, all bright and cheery. Add lemon to the ultimate chewy sugar cookie, and it’s Springtime perfection in cookie form….

Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding is studded with chopped Whoppers candies, chocolate chips, drizzled with chocolate syrup and drenched in a light custard. This fun dessert for two takes minutes to mix together and then bakes for about 30 minutes.
