Old Fashioned German Blueberry Kuchen

You know me I love my vintage recipes. This Blueberry Kuchen recipe is from my newest favorite vintage cookbook. I am drawn to old German recipes. I love all old recipes but when I find a German recipe it calls to me.

This Blueberry Kuchen recipe is a German Cake recipe. Kuchen is the German word for cake. Besides having a passion for vintage recipes I also am the family genealogist. I am more German than most of the current residents of Germany are from what the AncestryDNA test tells me.

I often wonder if any of my readers are interested in Genealogy research. I've want to share some information on researching family history here on the blog but wasn't sure if any of you would be interested.

If you would like me to occasionally share information about how to start researching your family tree leave me a comment. I've been doing my own genealogy research for almost 17 years and just recently took the AncestryDNA test to try and help me break down some of my genealogy brick walls. I'd love to share some tips.

And although I am not a homeschooler researching your family tree could be used for  homeschooling subjects.

Blueberries have been in season here in Florida and I picked up a few pints at one of my favorite Farmers Markets to make this Blueberry Kuchen recipe.

I love the way the blueberries make a lovely sweet blueberry layer along the bottom of this cake. The cake is not overly sweet. The blueberries add just the right amount of sweetness to the cake and is perfect with a cup of coffee.

I totally forgot to dust the top of this cake with powdered sugar as I planned so feel free to dust away when you make it. This Blueberry Kuchen would also go great served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like ice cream with dessert.

 How to make Old Fashioned German Blueberry Kuchen

This Blueberry Kuchen is very easy to make. You need some basic ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, butter, vanilla extract, salt, a lemon and fresh blueberries.

If you have a well stocked pantry you probably have everything except the lemon and blueberries on hand. So head out to your local Farmers Market and grab a lemon and some fresh blueberries!

    Big success.

    Arlene,
    I love baking with my skillet, though I usually have a deep dish pizza going not anything sweet.
    This kuchen (that's how I learned them) looks lovely, and worth a shot with my frozen blueberries since I won't have any fresh until ~July.
    Thanks!

    Arlene, I could go a slice of that right now...Kutchen. What an awesome name for cake! I wonder if that means German Chocolate Cake translate to Kutchen (insert German word for chocolate) Kutchen.

      Thank you Arman! I wish I knew German. I always wondered why my grandparents didn't speak a word of it since both their parents immigrated from Germany and spoke German at home!

        This looks really delicious! I happen to be German and the actual word for cake is "Kuchen". Sneaky little 't' in your cookbook, I guess. And chocolate cake would be "Schokoladenkuchen". Lovely that you try to like to try German recipes and research your family's history!!

        Thanks for catching the spelling oops. I hate when that happens. I should have double checked you know how those vintage cookbooks can be.
