Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake with Brown Butter Glaze

I am excited to join in today for a fun virtual baby shower for one of my favorite bloggers Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling.  Cathy has some pretty amazing recipes and beautiful photography.  If you have not been to visit her blog you really need to!  Cathy is welcoming a new baby girl to their family.

One of my favorite things to do for a baby shower is have brunch.  It’s one of my favorite meals.  Every brunch needs a good coffee cake.

One of the many things I love about where I live, Portland, Oregon is all the amazing Farmer’s Markets we have.  During the summer season you can find a market almost every day of the week to visit for fresh, locally grown produce.  There is a small market not far from my house that I frequent often.  Every time I go I check out the recipe table.  They have piles and piles of yummy recipes that use all the amazing fresh produce they sell at the market.  One I picked up last summer but never made was today’s recipe for Blueberry Coffee Cake with Brown Butter Glaze.  It is the brown butter glaze that really caught my attention and I thought it  would be perfect for a baby shower.

I loved the texture of this coffee cake, so nice and moist thanks to some buttermilk.  The flavor is also lovely with a hint of nutmeg and blueberries.

But the crowning glory of this coffee cake is the brown butter glaze.  It is glorious!  I am a huge fan of anything with browned butter in it.

This stuff is so good that next time I make this I am going to double the brown butter glaze!

It is simple to make, just melt butter and let it cook until it turns golden brown.  Add that in with the powdered sugar and a little vanilla

The other trick I use is I coat the blueberries in just a bit of flour before I stir them in.  This helps prevent them from all sinking to the bottom.

Be sure and grease your pan well.  I thought I did but I guess I didn’t.

You may have seen this “oops” on Instagram on Easter Sunday.  Some of you had some great ideas on how to “fix it!”  It still tasted delicious and yes, we still ate it but I had to try it again so the next day I made another one and this time I greased and floured the pan and it came out perfectly!

If you don’t have a brunch or a shower planned you might just want to plan one so you have an excuse to make this lovely!

And, double the glaze.  You won’t be sorry!

Be sure and visit all of the other blogs participating in the shower and check out all the yummy things they are sharing!
