Blueberry Breakfast Bundt Cake

Blueberry Bundt Cake.
A couple weekends ago my great friend ANDREW ZIRK planned a brunch gathering, that him and his lovely girlfriend hosted. It was such a good time! So much good food and the best company of friends in the world. As our time in Chicago comes closer and closer to an end, I know these are the moments I will miss the most. A big gathering of friends on a bright Saturday morning crammed into a downtown Chicago apartment.

I tried out a pinterest recipe and I would dub it a success! YUM! Next time I would probably double the frosting, as the cake itself is not very sweet. This blueberry breakfast cake is must try!




  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/8 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-2 cups frozen unsweetened blueberries (depending on size of blueberries)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
  2. In stand mixer cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; mix on low for about 1 minute.
  3. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and blend on medium for 30 seconds.
  4. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in frozen blueberries. (To help keep blueberries from falling to the bottom, sprinkle them with a couple tablespoons of flour prior to adding into batter.)
  5. Bake at 375° for 22-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

I can't believe it FRIDAY! So excited for this weekend! It's jam- packed with fun events.
1. Emily and Caleb over for dinner tonight
2. Helping Mandy decorate her new apartment Saturday morning
3. Heading to Winfield with Anne and Peter to hang with the Johnson's Saturday night.
4. Sunday in Geneva with family.
5. That much closer to Wednesday when we get to find out the gender of our baby! I am so excited! I cannot wait. 

xoxo. Erica

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.   

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
