I knew for sure that I was going to make this cake as soon as I saw the recipe posted on Creative Culinary.
This is my kind of cake. It’s not fussy – what I would call a snack cake. It’s ultra moist and doesn’t need any frosting. And there’s nutmeg! I normally think of cinnamon when I’m pairing a spice with blueberries, but nutmeg is now my new favorite.
I’m pretty sure I could have eaten the entire cake myself, but it went very fast at Cheryl‘s book signing, so I just got a small sliver.
Lucky me, though – I have blueberries left over, and the cake is so quick to make, it’s hardly any work at all to make a new one. And I get this one all to myself (now thinking of ways to hide it from Larry).

It is amazing isn’t it…and like you really made me think about nutmeg. Poor underused spice; like cinnamon’s kid brother. I am elevating it though and this cake helped!
I love nutmeg! I can’t wait to try this. And I’m proud to say I already own that cookbook (less proud to say I have never even opened it).
You must! I can’t believe I’ve never considered nutmeg and blueberries. And the book is really good and not overly complicated.
I am a super-fan of nutmeg. (Probably due to my love for chai lattes.) I am definitely going to have to make this cake — good thing I already have a quart of blueberries in the fridge.
