This recipe was handed down by my grandmother, and it is the absolute best blueberry cake ever. Nice and light. Watch out though. It disappears faster than the time it takes to make it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Melt in your mouth is the right way to describe this blueberry cake. It is moist with a buttery flavor. Lightly dusting the fresh blueberries with flour means they float in the cake and don't sink. Every slice has a burst of blueberries. Try this blueberry cake once and we think you'll make it again and again.
