Blueberry Cardamom Buckle Cake

Blueberry Cardamom Buckle Cake is a delightful, flavorful cake that is reliable for breakfast or as a dessert!

Calm before the storm.

Or at least this is what our Monday feels like.

This week is going to be busy, but in a good way. Our parents and in-laws are headed this way to help us prep the house for the baby and attend our Denver village baby shower. And somewhere in between all of that we need to squeeze in a maternity shoot, happy hour with clients, prenatal appointment, and a Lamb Jam judging contest. PHEW.

Feels like everything is happening at once. BUT! Since we are closing in on our nine month, we guess that is to be expected? We dunno. We do feel like our to-do list is growing at the rate of our belly. Any tips on what to do in the final month to prep for the baby? LMK!

Okay, we are still in summer mode. Anyone else? We know a lot of kiddos are heading back to school, but we're not quite ready. Because there is so much produce right now! GAH! We are trying to freeze a bunch to enjoy this winter, but we can’t keep up.

So, what does one do with an over abundance of blueberries? Make a Blueberry Cardamom Buckle Cake! This cake is the tits. A few ingredients mixed together is all that stands between you and summer victory. We love this as a dessert with some vanilla ice cream on top. Or you could enjoy it with your morning coffee.

Either way freeze some for later because this cake will go fast! Hopefully not as fast as summer has gone by!
