I made this cake since Larry just loves cake with blueberries. He especially likes this cake and has told me several times that he definitely wants me to make it again. I used a mix of blueberries and raspberries, although I like the way the blueberries look in this cake. The raspberries are too delicate for cake, I think.
I had some problems with my crumb topping. It looks fine on one side of the cake, but melted into the cake on the other side. No matter, I decided to put the crumb side down since I used a bundt pan. I was going to sift some powdered sugar on the top, but it doesn’t really need it. The cake is super moist and yummy as is. I didn’t even make the vanilla-scented créme fraîche that is in the recipe.

That looks lovely. It also explains why I bought buttermilk, even though the recipe I used didn’t call for it. I think I had been looking at this recipe also. Now I’ll have to make it!
oh wow, if there was ever a time when I wanted to reach into my monitor and grab something off the internet…it’s RIGHT NOW!
Larry can’t seem to stop talking about it!
so, ummm…you gonna eat all that cake? :DDD
I think Larry is going to eat all of it. Want some? I’m probably going to make another one on Saturday, for Mother’s Day.
