Have you found that recipes for delicious yet easy-to-make desserts for just the two of you can be a bit difficult to find? Me too! We have been a bit busy and desserts have not been a priority, but there are times I do want a little something after dinner. Now my dear husband on the other hand could eat ice cream every night and be completely satisfied (and truth be told, there is ice cream available, most of the time), but I really like having a fruit dessert to offer, but a touch of ice cream on top doesn't hurt!
So easy, we made this at camp!
You can tell by the stainless steel coffee cups used to bake this batch of Individual Blueberry Cakes, along with the glass measuring cups as mixing bowls, this recipe was developed during one of our RV camping trips! Which only serves to testify how easy it is to make! But we also have some pretty oven-proof dishes at home, and one day soon, I will bake this again and update the photos! Fortunately not only is this dessert delicious, but it doesn't call for fancy ingredients or bakeware!
Home grown or store bought blueberries, it doesn't matter...
For those fortunate enough to have blueberry bushes in their backyard or garden, this is the perfect recipe to keep handy! I can't think of a better reason to get out there and pick a few berries before dinner. Should you be blessed with a good crop from your own bushes, fortunately frozen blueberries also work just fine! So who wants Individual Blueberry Cakes for their dessert? Let's get started...
Top each baking dish with 1/2 of the cake batter.
Scatter remaining berries over the top of the batter, including any sugar that might be left behind.
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until done in your oven. Note: if using frozen berries you will need to increase baking time by 10-12 minutes.
Tip: Place the small cups in a baking pan for baking, one larger pan is easier to remove from the oven than the little cups used for baking.
Let cool before serving, and if desired, top with a bit of whipped cream or ice cream.

- Whole Wheat Self-Rising Flour, recipe found here
- blueberries
- sugar
- milk
- vanilla
- apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 small baking dishes
