I started working fulltime again, and let me tell you... it's been a little rough. Working 8 hours a day and then coming home to fix dinner, pick up the house, do laundry, make lunches, bathe kids, play with kids, give hubby attention, lock myself in the bathroom so I can hear myself think, and do dishes... makes me one tired girl.
I'm trying to keep my eyes open, so I can tell you about this awesome blueberry cake. It is seriously good stuff. Think blueberry muffin, but one hundred times better. You're just going to have to trust me on this. Make it this coming weekend for breakfast, or the next time you have company come over. It will be a hit!

2 teaspoons lemon zest
3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar, divided
