Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Breakfast Cake

Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients:

  • Krusteaz Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp Almond extract
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/8 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 stick butter, melted
  • Confectioners sugar, 1 cup.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375F
  2. Open muffin mix container, break up any large clumps. Then place eggs, oil, water in a large bowl and combine. It may have a couple clumps.
  3. Rinse blueberries from mix and drain. Place them, the poppy seeds, the almond extract, and zest from one lemon in the mixture and fold gently.
  4. Grease a loaf pan and put the mixture inside.
  5. To make the streusel mixture to go on top, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl and stir together. Should be chunky.
  6. Spread the streusel mixture on top of the batter mixture in the loaf pan
  7. Bake for 45-50 min. Pull out when a toothpick can enter and leave the cake cleanly. Allow to cool for 10-15 before removing it from the pan.
  8. To make the syrup that you put over the cake, combine the zest of the other lemon, the juice from the two lemons, with 1 cup of confectioners sugar and combine. I had to microwave to melt all of the sugar. The mixture will be syrupy and sweet (you can adjust to your tastes).
  9. When cake is completely cooled, pour mixture over the top of the cake and use a basting brush to coat the sides as well. I did not use the entire amount of the syrup.
