A smidgen of me :P: Marbled Blueberry Cake

The only reason why I like Spring/Summer is only cause it's berry season. Screw the hot weather, the allergies, and whatever Spring/Summer gives us. The main attraction are the delicious strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and of course my personal all time favorite BLUEBERRIES <3 that finally arrives fresh in our markets.

I can't get enough of them, so of course I had to make something out of these pretty blue pearls :)

Marbled Blueberry Cake

1 1/3 cups self-raising flour sifted

1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup sugar (I used Splenda)

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tbsp sugar

Preheat the oven at 350F degrees.

1. Spray non-stick spray on a 8 inch round cake pan. Place 1 tbsp of sugar and half the blueberries in a small saucepan. Stir together gently over medium hat for 2 minutes or until the juices begin to run. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining blueberries, allow to cool.

2. Beat eggs in a small mixing bowl, add vanilla and butter mix well. Combine flour and sugar in a separate mixing bowl, stir in the egg mixture until smooth.

3. Take out 3/4 cup of the cake mixture and stir into the blueberries. Place spoonfuls of both mixture randomly into the prepared tin. Swirl the mixture with a knife or skewer to create a marbling effect. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
