Gâteau aux Bleuets translates to “blueberry cake” in French. It’s a moist and slightly dense cake, made with fresh or frozen blueberries, a rich batter, and often flavored with a hint of vanilla or lemon. The blueberries burst while baking, creating pockets of juicy goodness throughout the cake.
This French treat is perfect for any season. While it’s especially popular during blueberry season, you can make it year-round with frozen berries. It’s also incredibly versatile—whether served plain or dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche, the possibilities are endless.
