Individual Blueberry-Lemon Cakes
Baked in mini Weck jars, these picnic-perfect desserts offer the ultimate in portability. They can also be made in individual ramekins instead of jars. If you don’t have a convection oven, bake in a conventional oven at 375ºF; you may need to add a few minutes to the baking time. The recipe can easily be doubled to make 12 cakes.
