This cake was a hit at an office party, It had great lemon flavor, blueberries made it moist and the streusel and icing make a beautiful presentation. It was easy to make and fast to make.

This came out really nice! Pretty to look at, delicous to eat, what more could I ask? I followed the directions exactly, except I used regular milk instead of half and half. I used frozen blueberries. Thanks Christiane!
