It has been a minute since our dear pal Jennifer Garner blessed our screens with a new episode of #PretendCookingShow, but she’s back with a fresh cooking project in tow and we couldn’t be more excited. This time, Jennifer Garner is showing us her take on Cheryl Day’s Blueberry Buckle recipe (which is a kind of fruit cake if you’re wondering). And bonus treat, Jen’s mum Patricia is back to offer some sweet banter and jokes about nuts.

Here’s the rundown of how to make it at home.

In the clip, you’ll see Jen and her mum chat about how buckle is a recipe that our beloved Ms Garner has been baking for years. They also discuss whether or not they should add pecans next time, which they decide could work, if you’re into that idea.
