Blueberry Lemon Cake or Bread

Blueberry and lemon are two of my favorite flavors. Though I have the willpower to resist most pastries when I want to (let’s just not talk about soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies), the tartness of lemon and blueberries tends to balance out the sweetness of coffee cake, quick bread, cookies or scones. Or Blueberry Lemon Cake. So what if I talk about baked goods like most connoisseurs talk about wine? When fresh blueberries and bright, tart lemon zest are involved, it’s hard to go wrong. I mean, there are ways. You could sub baking powder for baking soda, and you could mistake the salt for the sugar, but I don’t really know how you’d manage that. Let’s not overthink this.
