Simple Blueberry Cake

It's my birthday weekend and I just couldn't go without posting the little treat I made for myself. The husband took me to the farmers market and out to the comic book store, so I am a pretty happy girl, what with my new Swamp Thing and people coming over later for BBQ. I usually don't go for your typical birthday cake, the frosting is too sugary and it usually includes other sugary additives I can do without. I always went for  angel food cake with strawberry sauce or pineapple upside down cake growing up and this year was no different. This recipe is simple and to the point, tastes more like a scone but soft like a normal cake, and did I mention blueberries? Fresh from the farmers market to my belly. Bon a petit!

A seriously great country musician of our time, it's how country should sound in my opinion:

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium microwave save bowl, soften (but don't melt) butter and cream cheese. Then add the rest of your batter ingredients except for your blueberries.
3. When the batter is thoroughly mixed add your berries (save 1/2 cup for topping) and stir gently.
4. In a greased 9 inch cake pan spread the batter out evenly and add your 1/2 cup topping evenly over it.
5. Bake for 45 minutes.
6. For the icing, soften cream cheese and butter until easy to mix.
7. Combine all ingredients except for your milk.
8. Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until you reach the consistency you desire. 
9. Once cake is done, set aside for 15-20 minutes to cool, then drizzle your icing on top.
10. Serve!

Happy Eatings Everyone!
