I would advise anyone making this to use white chocolate baking squares. I used white chocolate chips and I did not realize they don't melt like chocolate chips. They never became liquid, just sort of soft and mushy! The cake itself does not taste like chocolate to me. It is sweet with the blueberries swirled about, good but not what I expected.
