We are having Blueberry Kuchen for our tea on the patio today. I'm using my dishes that I purchased last year from the thrift store. The teddy bear figurines were another thrift store find.

I'm having tea in my special mug. I just love this Liberty stoneware pattern.

This Blueberry Kuchen recipe from my Penzey's catalogue is so tasty. I hope you give it a try!
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 t. baking powder
1 1/2 t. grated lemon peel
1/4 -1/2 t. ground nutmeg (I love freshly grated)
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg, beaten
1 t. vanilla
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Topping
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to
350°. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon peel, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Add the milk, melted
butter, egg and vanilla. Beat until well blended, about 2 minutes. Pour
into a greased 9x13 pan.
For the topping, combine the sugar and flour. Add the butter and mix with a fork until the topping is crumbly. Sprinkle the blueberries over the cake batter and then sprinkle the topping over the blueberries. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until the batter is golden brown.

I am sharing this with:
Hubby and I have been so good in keeping away from desserts but this one is a must. We can cheat at least once a week so I'm trying this tomorrow. He'll be so happy, especially since I've got two containers of fresh blueberries!. Thanks for sharing :) -Bev
ReplyDeleteOh yum! Blueberry anything, and I just love it! I just happen to have some blueberries I need to use up. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour table is very festive.
Blessings, Debbie
This looks delicious, Kitty - I just bought some fresh blueberries and was looking for a recipe! Your table is wonderful - very fun and patriotic for the 4th! Wishing you a Happy 4th! xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThe blueberry kuchen looks great Kitty, I have a strong cuppa and wish I had some of that too! I need to sign up for the Penzey's catalog too, been thinking about it for way too long. Happy 4th of July, have fun with the kids:@)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty & patriotic! I know I would love that blueberry kuchen...it looks so good! Have a wonderful 4th, Kitty!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...I love blueberry anything! Is your pretty mama still visiting with you?
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty, oh oh oh oh oh! I love kuchen but always think of apple kuchen. My grandmother used to make it for my dad and I would sneak into it and nibble away. No one has her recipe. She was German and never wrote down anything. I think I should try your recipe! We have a blueberry bush that is loaded and the berries are almost ripe. Love your dishes too.
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteHow are you? Your patriotic table looks wonderful!! I really love the Liberty stoneware dishes; they're just perfect for summer. :) Love the blue and white tablecloth and the pretty pottery pitcher filled with red, white and blue flowers! I sure wish I could be there to enjoy some of your blueberry kuchen and visit with you. I've already pinned the recipe, by the way. :) I hope all is well with you -- we haven't talked in a while. Take care of yourself and have a Happy Fourth, my friend.
Warm Hugs,
Denise at Forest Manor
OMY, this does look and sound sooo good. Must put this on my TO BAKE list.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just got home from a fabulous road trip and when in Maine, bought several jars of WILD MAINE BLUEBERRY SPREAD...all fruit...and it's so good, I wanna slap my pappy. :) :)
xoxo
Oh my goodness, Kitty!! This is going to be PERFECT when my sister's blueberries finally start to ripen here.
ReplyDeleteDon't you LOVE Penzey's catalog? I hate to ever throw any of them away, just because of the awesome recipes inside.
Have a nice holiday weekend, Hon. Your table looks so festive!
This looks delicious! I love blueberries and lemon together. This looks perfect for 4th of July. Have a good weekend dear Kitty.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so wonderful! The perfect summer dessert with all those blueberries! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your Liberty stoneware Kitty and your Blueberry Kuchen looks delicious! Wishing you a delicious and Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteYou always have such scrumptious treats for your visitors and today is no exception! Your blueberry kuchen looks delicious! Unfortunately, we don't get blueberries here on the island, and I miss them, especially in muffins and cakes, and always with a zing of lemon! Thanks for sharing and happy 4th of July!

Hello Kitty, such a fun patriotic table and your blueberry kuchen look wonderful. I hope you enjoyed a nice 4th. You have coordinated everything down to the lovely flowers. Love your sweet little bears....xo
ReplyDeleteCan you please send me a serving!? Don't worry about the ice cream. :) It looks so delicious.

Oh how beautiful! Everything from your mug to your lovely flowers in the pitcher and the special little teddies. Just looking at the kuchen makes my mouth water - a must try for this kitchen for sure. SO glad when you share at Weekend Potluck. Keep 'em coming Friend! =)
ReplyDeleteThe blueberry kuchen looks irresistible Kitty and I don't want to resist this sweet temptation anyhow :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cute, patriotic stoneware, perfect fr the 4 th f July celebrations .
I tried this recipe with our homegrown blueberries. It is delicious!!! My family ate the whole pan, so I made a pan to share with our extended family. It didn't last long. Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any of the red, white & blue flowers at our Costco! :-( Maybe I just wasn't looking close enough. That sounds like classic me!!!
ReplyDeleteI just put some blueberries in the freezer this morning to prepare them for stashing for winter. I love blueberry cobbler and blueberry pancakes! I am willing to give this kuchen a try, too. It looks and sounds good, and I'm pretty sure I have all of the ingredients on hand already. I may have to wait awhile, though. Today is expected to reach 94 degrees with a heat index of 100+. I don't think I'll be wanting to turn that oven on! :-)
Have a wonderful week, Kitty!
I will try this recipe as soon as we get back from Maine. I always love Maine Wild Blueberries the best so will wait until I can get myself some! Yours looks so good!
ReplyDeleteYum! Your kuchen sounds delicious. I like your red, white, and blue theme and the figurines are too cute and lend a whimsical touch to your tea table. I love a little whimsy; must be the little girl that's still in me. It's always a pleasure to have you join me for tea, Kitty. I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Take care, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Sandi
You've created the perfect red, white and blue tea table. I like blueberries in any kind of dessert so will likely be trying your recipe, thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty patriotic tea! The blueberry dessert looks delicious. Those plates were definitely a great thrift store find.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy and a lovely patriotic setting....Christine
ReplyDeleteWonderful Kitty...saving the recipe. Blueberries are our favorite and we always have fresh or frozen in the house and have them daily at breakfast. Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!
ReplyDeleteRuth
I love all your patriotic dishes, specially the mugs. The cake looks delish and I am gonna give it a try, if you say so, I know it must be all I spect! Saving the recipe.

Hi Kitty! I'm here via Martha's Favorites and I'm joining in Tea Cup Tuesday today. I love your patriotic dishes and table setting. Aren't thrift store finds the best? I'd never heard of Penzey's before, so I just went to their website and ordered a catalog! Great to meet you!
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty: Love the 4th of July plates and mugs. They are just perfect. Always a pleasure visiting you. Blessings, Martha
