I wanted to make a dessert to take on a playdate and had lots of blueberries in the fridge to use up. I googled blueberry recipes and came across this cake - it had a lot of good reviews and seemed easy to make. The batter was very thick and stodgy at first and I had my doubts - but the cake turned out nicely and was a hit!
