In case you were wondering (which you probably weren't), I did use a bag of blueberries, uncovered by accident in the bottom drawer of the freezer, carefully preserved from last year's farmers market, to make Blueberry Snack Cake last week.
When lunch time comes, and I pull our a jar of soup and a piece of this carefully wrapped cake, and sit down at my desk, it feels like I have been seated at a roadside diner off a two lane highway in the middle of the great midwest. It's not fancy. It's just good.
I was lamenting the fact that I had 2 bags of these that I hadn't used. Until I learned this week that the farmers market opening has been delayed from April 11th until May 30th. I can't recall if that means I will miss the height of blueberry season. I don't think so. I think that's late June in Kansas. But the thought of one more of these cakes will help me get through not seeing all my farmer friends.
I am luxuriating in baking these days. Especially a simple recipe like this that requires minimal ingredients, that I usually have on hand, with the exception of the buttermilk that is easily substituted with regular milk with a bit of vinegar. I do LOVE using things I have "put up" from the market.
Looks so tasty! Enjoy those berries that were hiding in the freezer.

Our farmers market in Columbia MO is open with an early hour for seniors and also curbside pick up. Each Thursday i get an email listing vendors who will be there and I can order ahead if I want to. Its a great service but of course just not the same with not being able to look at the bins and tables of beautiful vegetables and flowers.

I been using this recipe since you first posted it. I've made it many, many times and I think it's the cornmeal that makes it so special because it adds a wonderful texture. Freezing berries is such a great idea... so much better than the ones that are commercially frozen. It's a great way to stretch out the best that summer offers.

Oh, and BTW, I see that the Supreme Court in Kansas upheld the Governors Executive Order. Two thumbs up.

Looks delicious, can almost smell it from SoCal.

Jacki: I am going to have to freeze some so I don't eat it ALL this week!
