Ingredients
- 7 Tablespoons softened butter, plus more for greasing
- 1/3 Cup sugar
- 1/3 Cup self-rising flour
- 1/4 Cup almonds, ground
- 1/2 Tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 Cup 2% milk
- 2 Packages (6 ounces or 1 1/4 cup each) Driscoll's Blueberries
- 1 Cup whipped cream
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Finely grate zest of 1 lime
- Coarse Sugar, for garnish
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 6 muffin large cups with butter. Line bases with rounds of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Combine remaining 7 tablespoons butter and sugar in bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Fold in flour, almonds and baking powder. Gently stir in milk and lime zest. Place a layer of blueberries in bottom of each muffin cup. Fold remaining blueberries into the batter. Spoon batter into muffin cups.
-
Bake about 25 minutes or until cakelets are springy to the touch. Remove from oven and cool in pan. Run a sharp knife around edge of each cakelet, then invert pan. Remove parchment paper and serve, top with coarse sugar and whipped cream.
Helpful Tip
-
To cut the rounds of parchment paper, lay the empty muffin cups on top of parchment paper, trace around the bottom outside edge and cut. With less than a tablespoon of added sugar per serving, and bursting with fresh blueberries, these little cakes are full of flavor and antioxidants.
Lighten Up Tip
-
Lighten up this recipe by using baking spray instead of butter on the pans; by using light whipped cream or skipping it altogether; or by substituting 1% milk in the batter.
