There’s something major going down…
Right now
Right here
It’s happening and I’m positive there’s not much anyone can do about it.
Children of the playground – – Im talking about a revolution!!
Every man – woman – child – young and old … they are all uniting in their love and efforts towards a single cause
BROWN BUTTER
This stuff is taking over the world and in the words of Miss Katy Perry … I liked it.
Seriously, if you haven’t ever had brown butter … wake up and smell the nutty liquid gold.
Remember last week’s Sunday with Joy how I raved about how amazing and cool Joy, of Joy the Baker is … well, now I’m convinced she’s an angel – – she compared brown butter to heaven – – and to put it politely this woman knows her glorious goodies 🙂
This week I have some more joy to sprinkle into your life.
Dear I say, this week’s recipe was better than last … hard to believe … I know
– – but this one deserves a HOLY MOTHER OF YUM accolade!!
Brown Butter Blueberry Muffins …. made into a cake 😀
It’s pretty much crack in muffin form … and because I know I have no sort of self-restraint, and while making the recipe, wanted to drink the brown butter all on its own … I made this recipe into cake instead. And then I quickly gave it away.
… well sort of. I took it to a dinner party … and had a slice ( maybe two).
You’ll notice that I haven’t posted the recipe to this little beauty – – that because I NEED you to buy Joy’s book. Even if you just get it for this recipe alone
It’s
TOTALLY
worth
It!!
Buuuuyyyy iiiittt … hey, good idea – – buy it for your mom for mommy’s day, use it and then share the goodies. Can you say, DOUBLE WHAMMY!!
Getting back to the buttery-business.. I made a couple of changes to joys recipe…
She made muffins – – I made her recipe into a cake
She used Granulated Sugar – – I ran out, so I used brown sugar
She used Vanilla – – I ran out ( I know you’re thinking, what kind of baker am I – – and I honestly have no idea 😦 ) I used almond extract.
Other than those teenie-tiny details, this loveliness is pure J.O.Y 🙂
Brown Butter Blueberry Cake
Enjoy sweethearts, have a joyful week

Living The Sweet Life 
Love how you described it as crack in muffin form & made it into a cake
🙂 lol, it was one good cake!! If I had made it into muffins .. I KNEW I would be in a brown butter coma right now … it was hard to keep my paws off the cake, let alone if I could sneak away with individual muffins 😉
Thanks for your comments xox, isn’t this whole Sunday’s with Joy thing tons of fun?!?!
Love this adaptation! I used brown sugar too, and I honestly like it better! And I don’t know if you’ve heard of making your own vanilla extract (you can get vanilla beans in bulk on Amazon, for a really good price), but you should definitely check it out. I never buy it anymore. Much better flavor, and so much more economical.
Thanks Ellen for your sweet comment 🙂 this was one of joys BEST recipes yet!!
That’s a great idea about making your own vanilla !! I’ve seen the beans for sale, but I’ve always thought they were so expensive. I’ll have to have a look on amazon for sure!! Do you still use the same measurement of vanillia, when using home made?
Yes you do! Same measurements 🙂

The link above will tell you all, and the link below is where I buy my beans. The above link also has info on vanilla beans!

Enjoy 🙂
Making the muffin recipe into a cake…very nice!
🙂 thanks Samantha!!
How bad is it that I’ve definitely bought my mom cookbooks for mother’s day with the sole intention of using them myself? Pretty bad. 😛
OHHHHH this cake! I’m in love. Brown butter really is a godsend. Then again, so is Joy. Coincidence? i think not.
LOL Joanne, I think it’s a fabulous idea … you could always say, you’re making the goodies for the both of you ;)!! Or you could say that you’re buying it so the two of you can cook together… lol either way, super idea!!
And the correlation between brown butter and joy – – no coincidence at all. I can’t wait to continue baking through her book 😀
LOVE that you made it into a cake. I was thinking it would be great in a bundt for coffee cake on Mothers Day this weekend…. might have to try!
Thanks my dear!! I was a little worried that the cake would come out really thin … but joy takes care of business! Let me know, how your cake turns out 🙂
I like the idea of making a cake instead of the muffins, it looks very tasty!
🙂 thanks Catalina xox
I think I need to try this stuff. I’ve never had brown butter. Me thinks it’s time.
do it! do it! dooooo it!! at first I didn’t think it was anything special and then when the butta began to brown … mmmm I was swept away 🙂
I love brown butter, and this cake looks incredible.
