I’m using a spring form pan so I won’t have to flip it. Sigh. Oh, and I like to beat the zest in with the sugar, whose grittiness will help release the most oils and flavor from it.

Springform pan is the way to go for those of us who are terrible at flipping cakes. I wish I had put a little bit more cinnamon sugar on top – or I wonder if maybe some turbinado sugar on top of this at the end might give it a nice little crunch? Oh and I cooked it in a parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan and it couldn’t have released more easily. I love, love, love, love, love, love this! Absolutely, and overripe ones are great for baking in cakes.

Hope it lives up to the hype. Second, I love this recipe. • Subbed in Ontario peaches, since they are in season, and used about 1.5 cups total. I added chopped walnuts. Fabulous. I also used turbinado sugar for the topping instead of white. Mine cooked in about 40 minutes (extra surprising since it was in a glass baking dish). However, i do find the crumble way too sweet (and i have already halved the amount. So I think playing with the blueberry amount is safe to do. I made this on a Friday night and 5 days later I see my husbandbought some fresh blue berries – I ask what they are for and I get this response: “for you to make that blueberry cake again.” Kids eyes lit up and they exclaimed, “you’re making the blueberry cornbread again?!

Susan — They sunk a little but I completely forgot to toss them with the flour leaving me to wonder if that’s what caused it or if even that teaspoon couldn’t have saved them. I’ll eat the bait myself, thank you. It makes it easier to slice, especially at a brunch or potluck. Everyone loved it, and it was so easy to make. I have also been able to order a used copy of Maida Heatters cookbook. I’ve made it for several different occasions, and everyone always loves it.

There’s no reason you cannot use buttermilk with baking powder. If I drain them really well, perhaps dust them with a bit of flour, is there any reason it won’t work? Thank you so much! My colleagues love me (and by extension you!) There’s often some concern in baking about swapping an acidic ingredient (buttermilk or yogurt) for non-acidic ingredient (regular milk, soy or almond milk) because a leavener like baking soda needs an acid to activate and other very long-winded explanations, but as we’re using baking powder and adding an acid rather than taking one away, it shouldn’t be an issue. The name sounds catchy! I think I was a was a little thrown off by the instructions to blend in the “sugars.” This is the second recipe from your website that i have tried to make where the directions were either incorrect or vague (Raspberry cake… buttermilk recipe was incorrect and wasted 2 cups of milk).

It was gone so fast that no one seemed to mind serving from the pan. haven’t heard that name in awhile. It smells so incredible; I don’t know if I can wait for him to get here to eat it.

It will now become part of my baking “schtick” as my grown daughters say…, I’m sure this is a really annoying question, but is there any chance you could tell me where you go that greenish container that your blueberries are in?
