After tasting the soft, spongy Egg less Blueberry Boy Bait, I wanted to try the same with egg. If the egg less version itself very soft, I couldn't imagine the egg version. This is the main reason behind my interest in baking blueberry cake another time.
I followed all the steps from Blueberry boy bait except there is a slight change in ingredients list just to incorporate egg. Also, this time, I baked as muffins instead of round/square cake. Surprisingly, I have got golden crispy crust without any sugar topping which I did for Blueberry Boy-Bait. The final outcome was simply delicious.
