Blueberry Almond Breakfast Cake

Blueberry Almond Breakfast Cake

Blueberry Almond Breakfast Cake is the perfect combination of blueberry and almond in a tender butter cake. This recipe comes together so easily with just a handful of ingredients you will find yourself whipping it up all year long. Perfect for making any time of year with fresh or frozen fruit.

Costco has had some really great looking berries this summer. I keep buying more and at some point I ended up with too many to fit in my fridge.

Well, instead of buying a new fridge (which is what I really wanted to do) I decided to whip up a simple blueberry cake.

With just a handful of ingredients this amazing simple cake came together.

The addition of almond extract in the batter and toasted almonds on top really enhance the sweet blueberries in this tender buttery cake.

The almond topping is sprinkled on before it goes into the oven, leaving nothing to do when it cools, but enjoy a slice or 3.<

This has been our most popular cake all year. I actually made 3 of these cakes before I managed to get a shot. 

Mind you every time someone pops over I am sure to feed them before they leave.  My friend Heather popped over and got a taste. She swears it tastes just like a coffee cake, but better.

I found myself picking at this cake every time it was on the counter top because is it sooo good.

So, I cut it up and tossed it in the freezer for safe keeping.

Then my father-in-law came by and picked up the last batch. Whew! Crisis averted. Needless to say the cake freezes perfectly and you are going to love it.

Isn't that the best group of photos? Christmas cookies, Thanksgiving stuffing, pan-fried chicken thighs, crockpot carnitas and that hottie in the center there... That is Chad. 2 years ago for Christmas I got him a NASCAR Racing Experience. So, he had the opportunity to actually drive a real NASCAR car on the track at the PIR (Phoenix International Raceway). That is the same track that we will be watching the NASCAR race at this weekend. Think they will let him drive? I wonder if I could talk to someone. LOL.

Totally freakin' excited about the race. It is next Sunday. BTW, if you are looking for a Christmas gift that will blow the ordinary gift out of the water... Get the NASCAR Racing Experience. There is usually a Groupon available to make it relatively reasonable. I highly recommend it.

In the kitchen this week... we are working on a lot of fabulous recipes. Comfort food and lots of crockpot dinners are the theme this week. Of course, Lazy Day cooking. Which by the way... Big secret (not anymore) we are working on our Lazy Day eCookBook. It will be out soon. What do you think about that?

I hope you enjoyed catching up! {{Let me know in the comments below.}}

Cranberry Maple Donut Bread Pudding

Cranberry Maple Donut Bread Pudding

Cranberry Maple Donut Bread Pudding is a simple recipe that comes together in a snap. The perfect Christmas breakfast it is the epitome of winter, made with left over donuts (in place of the traditional bread), a divine maple custard filling and speckled with tart cranberries throughout. A vanilla maple butter icing is drizzled over top to make this a most impressive dessert that you will be making again and again!

We are so excited to be partnering with International Delight®  to bring you another fabulous recipe. I don't know about you, but I love my coffee so I always have creamer in the house. I have found this to be an amazing convenient ingredient in cooking and baking sweets. So, of course, when I started thinking about bread pudding I thought of International Delight.


RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM 

And donuts. I have loved cake donuts since I was a kid. Recently though when Chad is getting donuts, I will pass. I don't know if it's my palette or the way they are made now but I would rather skip them.

That was until my friend  brought me 2 dozen donuts from New York. A lovely Amish woman makes them the first Saturday of every month and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a fresh batch. I have to say they are truly the best donuts I have ever had. Well, after the donuts had passed their peak of freshness I started wondering what I could do to revive them.

I knew they needed liquid so I started thinking about cakes and breakfast and landed on my new favorite Christmas breakfast! My daughter and I completely devoured ours. It is absolutely amazing and I know you are going to love it.

By now, you know how much we love their coffee creamers and have for some time (check out our 40+ International Delight recipes).

Enjoy!

=================================================================

Cranberry Maple Donut Bread Pudding
SERVES 8 |  ACTIVE TIME 10 Min  |  TOTAL TIME 60 Min

8-12 stale glazed cake donuts
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
2 cups half-and-half
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 tablespoons maple syrup
6 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
2 tablespoons International Delight French Vanilla Creamer
3/4 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a deep 9" pie pan (or 9x9 baking pan).

Chop donuts into bite size pieces. You want enough donuts so that your pie plate is heaping, they will be pressed down later. Place them in the buttered baking dish. Set aside.

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and add cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine. Add half-and-half, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 4 tablespoons maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.Pour egg mixture over the donuts. Toss donuts to coat and press down into the egg mixture if necessary so they can absorb the mixture. Rest for 15 minutes. Add cranberries and toss to combine. Gently press the donuts into the pan so they will stick together, not so much that you flatten them.
 
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15-20 additional minutes, until it is set.

Meanwhile, add powdered sugar to a medium bowl. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, creamer and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine.

Pour or drizzle frosting over warm bread pudding.

Serve and enjoy!

DONNA'S NOTES: If you are using fresh donuts, you can bake the cut pieces in the oven until they are dry and stale.
