Recipe by MarthaStewartWanabe

When I lived at home with my family, we would make this snack cake a lot. We always had blueberries stored in the freezer from summer berry-picking season. This recipe is very sweet but well worth the carbs! Please note this cake batter spreads out thin and does not rise much at all once baked. It is not meant to do so. Also, please note that the glaze is optional per your sweet tooth preference. It could also be halved for those who prefer less sweetness.
