Tuesdays with Dorie - Blueberry Crumb Cake



Yum. Yum. Triple yum!! :) I love blueberries, and this week's TWD recipe - Blueberry Crumb Cake - just sounded wonderful. Sihan of Befuddlement chose this recipe. And it was a great choice!


What is really interesting about this week is that I actually baked this recipe last week. As many of you know, I am quite the procrastinator and usually bake on Tuesdays. Well, today was Kade's 1 year checkup and I wasn't sure if I would have time to bake or not, so I baked last week. Go me! I took most of the cake to my mom's office. It was quite the hit. I must agree. I loved it when it was warm, and it was just as good the next day (I saved myself a piece, heehee). I really enjoyed the crunchy crumb topping. The only change I made to the recipe was using pecans instead of walnuts in the topping. I was also able to use fresh blueberries.



I highly recommend trying this recipe if you get a chance. And check out what the other TWD bakers did with this recipe!


Enjoy!!

That looks so moist and yummy! I also used pecans. I like their flavor much more than walnuts. Great job.

But waiting till the last minute makes everything so much more fun - especially with a little one underfoot!

Seriously, it looks delish - and this one's a keeper!

I liked how you used bigger chunks of walnuts. Wasn't this cake good?

Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow-Filled Moon Pies

Back in 2011, I participated in a project called Frosting for the Cause.  My contribution was Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow-Filled Moon Pies.  Unfortunately, it seems as though that blog no longer exists.  In light of that, I am re-posting the story and recipe here, just in case anyone comes looking for it.  :) Originally posted Feb 22, 2011 When I first heard about Frosting for the Cause via Twitter, I knew I had to join in.   I was so excited to get the email letting me know when I would be posting!   I feel very honored to be a part of this.   Later, when I sat down to write my post, the emotions really hit me.   My grandmother has battled cancer not once, but twice in her life.   And thankfully, both times, she has won.   She’s a tough old lady!   Just don’t tell her I called her old.     And she is not the only woman in my life to have been touched by cancer.  A dear friend of mine, Denyse, recentl...

Chewy Ginger Snaps

Sit down.  No really, I mean it.  There are 12 weeks until Christmas.  Seriously.  Get out your calendar and count if you don't believe me!  Do you know how I know this?  Because I'm participating in the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies this year.  It's hosted by April of Abby Sweets .  And there's a linky thing to all the other cookie posts  down at the bottom of this post.  Or at least there's supposed to be.  ;) Aside from being horrible at time management and also being a huge procrastinator, want to know what my biggest problem has been?  Narrowing down what cookies I'm going to make!  There are just so many choices out there.  I decided to start with this recipe for Chewy Ginger Snaps. I got this recipe many years ago off an online parenting message board, and I've made it several times since then and adjusted the recipe slightly.  I'm sure there are several recipes out there, and I'm just not ...

Hello Dolly Cookie Bars

Several years ago, my mom gave me an old cookbook, it was hers but I'm not sure she ever used it, Favorite Recipes from Southern Kitchens:  Desserts .  I love this cookbook!  I thought it would be great to go through it and pick a recipe or two to use for this year's 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats series.  For this week, I chose a super easy one, Hello Dolly Cookies.  I have absolutely no idea where the name came from.  I'm really not sure I've ever eaten one before, though the ladies I shared the finished product with knew about them!  I did an internet search too, and it seems they go by a lot of names, including Magic Layer Bars.  Honestly, they are so easy to make.  There's no mixing required.  Kids could absolutely help with these.  The cookies smelled divine while they were baking, and I barely waited for them to cool before trying one. At first I thought "these taste almost like German chocolate cake", then "or d...
