Did some shopping today and the first thing I saw were blueberries@ 99 cent a pint, you would not believe my joy. I used 2 for this wonderful cake and are freezing the rest on cookie sheets and bagging for the winter. My cake came out so moist, with the added buttermilk and juicy blueberries, try it out. You will not be disappointed.

    Bake until cake is golden brown and a tester inserted comes out fairly ckean, about 1 hour and 25 minutes, (my cake took 1 hour, 8 minutes, depending on your stove, so watch carefully, your tester should not be crumb free, that means the cake is too dry.
  • 6
    Let cool in the pan, on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then run a thin sharp knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake onto rack and dust with powdered sugar, cool completely.
