When our freezer broke and I was left with a whole bag of thawed frozen blueberries, I came up with this cake. The entire family loved the taste of it, and it’s reasonably low in fat and full with vitamins from the blueberries. Serve with blueberry sauce and some whipped cream on the side.

Reviews
The flavor is delicious, but I might add more chocolate chips next time, because I like chocolate. Cake was very moist and great. I’ll definitely make this again. Would be great for July 4th dessert with whipped cream, and strawberries or raspberries.
