Blueberry Boy Bait Coffee Cake
I love the story behind the Blueberry Boy Bait Coffee Cake. Read below to find out why a little girl gave her coffee cake such a funny title. The perfect Valentine’s Day Dessert!
This Blueberry Boy Bait recipe originates from 1954 and was titled Blueberry Boy Bait by a 15 year old Pillsbury contestant. This recipe won second place in the youth division. Named in honor of it powers with the opposite sex this recipe is one of the most popular recipes in the YankeeMagazine.com archive. This cake is the perfect dessert to make when you’re in a pinch. You can have this ready for the oven BEFORE the oven is ready for you!

Wow, this looks amazing! I am very picky with blueberries and like them very firm. This is perfect for ones that have started to get a little mushy. Just pinned!

Coffee cake is so delicious and easy to make. Your blueberry cake looks wonderfully moist. I am going to enjoy that cinnamon sugar topping as well. Thanks!
What a yummy looking dish. I love blueberries–I’ll make this soon. Your photos are beautiful.
I absolutely love blueberries. I also have 4 brothers (and a husband) and agree that the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach! I will definitely be making this soon
Thank you for sharing:) Can I use this recipe to make it with drained canned peaches? Looks like it might work:) Have a wonderful Easter!
This is going in the oven now! Sure looks good.
Just put this in the oven and it smells WONDERFUL!! I opted to put a little lemon juice in the batter and skip the cinnamon for the top for a lemon-blueberry bait cake. I think this batter is going to be an easy mix for a good variety of fruits this summer 🙂
