For a person who didn’t grow up eating blueberries, I have been a huge fan of this little fruit which stains everything blue. Even cake batter.

I must admit I rushed into cutting it while it was still very very hot. But after it cooled this cake remained ridiculously moist and SO delicious. Continue reading
