Beautiful cake that is also totally yummy! I chose to display berry side up (so pretty) and made an orange glaze just to boost the sweetness factor. Joining Blueberry and Orange is a marriage made in heaven!

What a beautiful cake this recipe makes Luvs2Cook. I made this special treat for my dh for Father's Day. So glad that I choose your recipe. It was awesome. The cake was tall, tender, moist and full of flavor. The texture was spot on as was the crumb. I made the cake using fresh blueberries. We really enjoyed the orange zest in the cake, it was perfect without being over bearing. Cooked it in a spring form pan, which worked perfectly. We will be enjoying this recipe for years to come. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, which I have placed in my best of 2012 Cookbook.

Fantastic! I used fresh blueberries and lemon zest because I was out of oranges. It was perfect. This will be a regular dessert during blueberry season. Thanks for sharing!

This cake is amazing! I made only one change to this recipe. I used fresh blueberries instead of frozen. And I can tell you I will be making this cake again. I followed the instructions perfectly, even to baking the cake for exactly 1 hour. Thank-you Lvs2cook for a keeper. I would recommend this cake to anyone!!
