A deliciously moist cake that takes full advantage of blueberry season! And so easy to make – don’t let the number of ingredients fool you into thinking it’s complicated. It’s not.
Why try? Besides impressing your friends? It’s a great way to get out of the blueberry muffin rut and do something to spice up your use of this healthy fruit.
Foodie Byte: Because you coat the blueberries with flour before mixing them in, they hold their own in the batter and make a beautiful presentation.
