MAKE THIS: Red, white, and blueberries!

Happy Fourth of July! I can think of no better way to celebrate a summer holiday then with baked goods. And I can think of no yummier baked goods, than those baked goods that include blueberries-- as blueberries just happen to be one of my favorite things on the planet. YUM. I stumbled accross this recipe at Smitten Kitchen and it's a toss up which I love more: the name, or the actual cake. Both are fabulous. Without further ado I give you the recipe... Have a safe and lovely holiday!

 Blueberry Boy Bait

2 cups plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon table salt

16 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs
1 cup whole buttermilk
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Topping
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Whisk two cups flour, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. With electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on medium-high speed until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated and scraping down bowl. Reduce speed to medium and beat in one-third of flour mixture until incorporated; beat in half of milk. Beat in half of remaining flour mixture, then remaining milk, and finally remaining flour mixture. Toss blueberries with remaining one teaspoon flour. Using rubber spatula, gently fold in blueberries. Spread batter into prepared pan.

For topping: Scatter blueberries over top of batter. Stir sugar and cinnamon together in small bowl and sprinkle over batter. Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes, then turn out and place on serving platter (topping side up). Serve warm or at room temperature. (Cake can be stored in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.)
