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.
