We stayed in a lovely beach house on the Massachusetts coast a couple of weeks ago. It’s a place we go every summer, and we enjoy it so much. It’s something we look forward to all year long. Everyone should have something like that! I’m always amazed by the blueberries that I am able to find in Massachusetts. They’re infinitely more perfect and plump than anything I can ever find on the West coast. So I pretty much go blueberry-crazy whenever I’m in Massachusetts in the summer. I added some of those delightful blueberries to the infamous gooey butter cake to create a Blueberry Gooey Butter Cake. It was a very good idea, I must say!
I used a base recipe for Gooey Butter Cake (good all on its own). And I simply added a boatload of fresh blueberries on top. Yes, this recipe begins with a yellow cake mix from a box. Do I care? No, because sometimes I use the boxed mixes anyways. It’s a super good cake. And it’s a totally easy and impressive recipe to serve to guests. I did just that.
I served it to beach house neighbor guests who we hosted for dinner. They ate every last bite of this dessert, and I heard lots of Mmmm’s and Ahhh’s. I’d say it was a hit. And no one suspected it began with a boxed cake mix!
So be inspired to try out this dessert sometime this summer, especially if you can find a couple of handfuls of wonderful, fresh, plump blueberries!
