Notes
This recipe is typically baked in a 9x13-inch pan, which allows the cake to cook evenly and gives it a nice thickness. You can also use two 8x8-inch pans if you want to split it into smaller portions.
A subtle cinnamon-sugar topping adds warmth without overpowering the blueberries.
Adjust the sugar to suit your taste—ideal for those who prefer desserts that aren’t overly sweet.
This cake travels well and makes a thoughtful homemade gift for friends or neighbors.
