This is a great blueberry cake. I made mine in a tube pan and with frozen blueberries that I had picked from my bushes earlier this summer. I sprinkled the top with sugar in the raw which are large crystals so it gave it a nice sparkle. - 09 Oct 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I have made several blueberry cakes this summer, because the market had them on sale for $0.99. This is definitely one of the best! A wonderful, really moist cake. I used a full pint of blueberries and substituted margarine for the butter and it worked just fine. I like the taste of vanilla, so I doubled the amount called for. I also threw in a dash.....and I do mean a DASH of cinammon simply based upon personal preferance. Thanks for the recipe Irene! - 06 Sep 2004 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
