Zac Young’s Blueberry Hazelnut Cake: Recipe from the God’s Love Holiday Catalog

© 2021 Galdones Photography

Every Thanksgiving, my grandmother would make a “cranberry-walnut bread” which was kind of a cross between a muffin, a cake and a pound cake.In an homage to her, and our home state, I make this version with wild Maine blueberries and toasty hazelnuts. I love to slice and serve it as dessert, griddled with butter and topped with vanilla ice cream, or eat it for breakfast the next day… in the unlikely event there are leftovers.
