A moist vanilla cake, with blueberries and slithered almonds berried into the top. I use frozen berries due to cost and availability. Serve warm with cream or cold as is. This looks beautiful and plates well. If you want to impress - this cake is easy enough to not be difficult, yet pretty enough to serve to guests.
