Blueberry-Poppy Seed Brunch Cake




Source of Recipe


Pillsbury Bake-Off grand prize winner, 1990


Recipe Introduction


This was delicious! I used butter; only use 1 T. poppy seeds; used light sour cream; and omitted the glaze because I thought it might make it too sweet. I probably would have added the glaze if I was serving it to company though, but I would use lemon juice instead of milk. Oh, and I also used a little less sugar in the blueberry mixture. The hardest part was trying to get the batter to go an inch up the sides of the pan. I think I only got it to go up about 1/2 an inch by using a wet spoon. It worked fine though.
