First, a little explanation about the title.
My computer has a feature called "auto-correct"; where, if it thinks I am mis-spelling a word
it will automatically correct it.
So, as I was typing blueberry, I must have hit a wrong key and the computer thought
I was spelling "blubbery"!
So, from now on my Blueberry Buckle will forever be known as
Blubbery Buckle!
And as promised....another recipe!
And this one is definitely a keeper.
Cake Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/4 C. butter (softened)
3/4 C. sugar
1 large egg
1/2 C. milk
1 pint blueberries
Topping Ingredients:
1/4 C. butter
3/4 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. flour
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 C. coursely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar (cake ingredients) until fluffy. Beat in the egg.
Add dry ingredients alternating with milk. Mix. Fold in blueberries.
Spread in greased 8 or 10 inch springform pan.
(or can be baked in a 10 inch square pan and served from the pan)
Combine topping ingredients with a fork to make a crumbly mixture.
Sprinkle over cake batter.
Bake for an hour.
Test for doneness with a toothpick.
If toothpick inserted does not come out clean, bake for another 5 minutes.
This is a delicious coffee cake type dessert that is a favorite of our family.

I enjoy your farm about as much as my own. More probably cause I am not doing all the work for all your sweet animals that I enjoy so much.
Every morning, hubby and I sit sipping on our coffee, looking at our laptops, getting the weather and news and then we go to Bee Haven Acres...hubby calls your blog "the tails". We have laughed at your animals and they have helped us to start our days with a smile...thank you.
Dawn Pilotti
I lurk every single day.. but I seldom comment..not sure why. Your blog is the rist one I read every morning..sometimes nigh for me as you are usually writing your pos about the time I'm going to bed..

My Little home is done in snflowers so i sure would love winning that Apron to hang on the hook by my door..would look great with all my sunflowers!

Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your wonderful blog.
One question, do you think you will ever open your blueberry patch to the public for picking?
Cathy W.
It is our plan to some day open the big blueberry patch as a "Pick Your Own"....I am thinking that we will do this only on certain days. The plants are still young (5 years old) and need to grow some more before that day. At this point we are eating and freezing and preserving all of the berries ourselves. Someday that task will be daunting!!!
