Best Summer Dessert! Simple, and Delicious Homemade, Blueberry Cake Recipe

Where I’m from in the beautiful state of Maine, the month of August is wild blueberry season! If you have never had a Maine wild blueberry then, in my humble opinion, you’ve never experienced the best a blueberry has to offer! Our berries are small sweet and delicious, and we try to harvest as many as possible before the short season comes to a close. But with so many blueberries, it’s fun to come up with many ways to use them! This recipe is new, and it stems from me wanting to try a different baked good than my typical blueberry muffins. It’s the perfect summer cake for any party you may have or just for after dinner with a cup of tea! Let’s get into this delicious recipe!
