I thought the boiling water was wierd but with the great reviews it already received I decided to give it a try. Turned out really good! The cake part turns out crusty on top. It is a recipe I will definately be making again but I think I will cut back on the sugar as it was a bit sweet. Thank you!

Good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I love the way the house smells when I bake this.

Yum! I love pudding cakes and with its combination of blueberries and a hint of cinnamon, this one is especially good. I think it's best served warm, whipped cream optional. A year-round treat with frozen blueberries. For those not familiar with pudding cake, the cake layer bakes on top and the fruit layer stays saucy underneath. Thanks, MaeEast, for a yummy dessert!

Fantastic!!!! When I told DH I had made dessert he flew into the kitchen and said "Oh, it's blueberry." Needless to say he isn't much of a blueberry fan. But he decided he really needed something sweet so he scooped some in a bowl (it was still warm) and topped it with vanilla ice cream. Well, you have a HUGE fan! He even got up in the middle of the night to have more! My Dad went crazy for it too! I love the uniqueness of the recipe and will be making it VERY often. Thanks for sharing this gem of a dessert recipe.

Thank You!!! Thank You!!! This was fantastic. Even my kids who don't eat fruit pies loved this dessert. I have to say that I have never made anything like it before where you added boiling water after you have everything in the pan. This recipe is on the top of my favorite recipe list.
