What a great recipe Muffin Goddess. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure. I made this cake for my friend & neighbors birthday. It was very well received, gone very quickly. The cake was a delight, perfect texture , light and tender, the flavor is out of this world good. Beautiful crumb on this tall cake. Made exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag Game. -

Although I followed the recipe, at the end I added a rounded 1/2 teaspoon of finely minced lemon zest to the glaze, since we do like that citrus flavor! Made the cake with frozen berries & we were happily satisfied, as was a neighbor couple with whom we shared it! Love the combo of blueberry & lemon! Thanks for sharing this nice keeper of a recipe!

I used to make this cake years ago when I still had the magazine, I forgot about it and was really happy that I found it again. I am 99% sure that the recipe is exactly as in the magazine, which is why I cannot figure out why my cake turned out differently than before when I made it. The dough was sort of 'gummy' before baking, but because I have made this cake with good results before I did not add any milk to make it more pliable. I was really disappointed but I know that this cake is wonderful. I will make again soon, and if my dough comes out with the same consistency I will add some more liquid and see what happens and update this review with some stars.
