So, I made my family cake for breakfast. What of it?

It’s full of blueberries, which are pretty much just plain magic in the health food world, so I’m not feeling guilty.

Also, muffins tend to be an acceptable breakfast and this is just one giant muffin baked in a cake pan.

See? Totally reasonable to eat cake for breakfast.
