It's blueberry season here in New Hampshire. Last Sunday afternoon I picked four quarts of blueberries to make old-fashioned blueberry cake... not to mention pancakes, cobbler and muffins! *lip-smacking delicious*
New Hampshire weather has taken a turn to hot and humid the past couple of weeks. So early tomorrow morning our family will be off to pick eight quarts... or two buckets of high bush blueberries. Blueberry season in our area won't last much more than another week or so. *insert sad face*
This recipe is a tried and true family favorite of ours, however I'm uncertain of it's orgin?! I'm always on the hunt for another blueberry recipe to add to our own repertoire of recipes. *wink*

Tomorrow I will be going blueberry picking too and will make sure I get at least 2 buckets full of berries. Aren't we lucky to be able to pick our own blueberries?
Thank you, Anne for sharing your cake recipe and for taking that awesome picture of a piece of your cake. I am over here drooling. :)
Anne,
This looks so wonderfully delicious! Wish I was closer to you too. Blueberries are one of my absolute favorite fruits. Your cake recipe may come in handy soon. However, I doubt I'd share it for breakfast with my family! LOL
Yummy. Looks delish!
