Good Morning Blueberry Cake

Cold Cereal.  Instant Oatmeal.  Yogurt.  REPEAT! Blah. Blah. Blah. Blah! Tell me I am not the only one who gets in this breakfast rut?!

My husband often hints that he’d love something different, and THIS is always what he is hinting for.  On his Birthday, Father’s Day, or any special occasion, this is his breakfast of choice.  Just the other day he talked me in to making his favorite breakfast, and I decided it was about time I shared it.
