I fix this breakfast cake for my co-workers often. The blueberries and sausage are such a nice sweet-salty flavor combo. —Peggy Frazier, Indianapolis, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • BLUEBERRY SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

  1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Fold in sausage and blueberries.
  2. Pour mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean, 35-40 minutes.
  3. For sauce, combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add water and blueberries. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Spoon over individual servings. Refrigerate leftover cake and sauce.
Blueberries
If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.
