So no I don’t exactly need more boys around here but I saw this blueberry cake recipe on my friend Susan’s blog Sticky Gooey Creamy Chewy and was smitten.

Nutrition

I buy my blueberries from Azure Standard, they sell 10-pound boxes of blueberries and I keep them in the deep freeze all year long. We just don’t pick enough berries for all the yummy blueberry stuff we like to eat.

Keep the boys you have happy, catch new ones, or eat this one alone without any boys at all, any which way you go, you’ll enjoy this sweet little cake.

Do me a favor and pin this?? Thanks so much!
