I'm not even a blueberry fan and I love this recipe! Rich and fragrant without being overdone in any way. Thank you so much for sharing!

Very good. Next time I will add more blueberries and will toss them with flour to keep them from sinking. The sauce was a little too sweet for me but my husband enjoyed it. Next time I will reduce the water in the sauce by half and replace it with lemon juice.

I made this for my husband (who LOVES lemon) and his friends. They really enjoyed it. And, you know, since there's fruit in it, you can pretend it's somewhat healthy. ;) I know we'll make this again. Thanks for posting the recipe!

Oh, gosh, BK, what a fabulous cake. Prepared for dessert tonight and was sorry I ate dinner. I should have gone directly to the cake, not passing GO! The cake is great, the sauce sent it out of the park! I must admit I did add a little zest to the sauce, but otherwise, wouldn't change a thing. Thnx so much for posting, BK. Made for ZWT4.

This was an excellent recipe! The cake was moist and tasty. I thought the sauce and cake were a little too sweet and kept thinking the whole time I was making it...."I should add more lemon juice, I should add more lemon juice". I'm sorry I didn't as I prefer a tart lemon flavor with my lemon desserts. I did add more lemon to the sauce though and that made it much better. It was delicious and we did totally enjoy it. Made for Zingo for ZWT4 while touring around the world with my Babes.
