This is one of my favourite teacakes. I baked it and gave it away as New Years gift. Everyone raved about it. Due to the extra sour cream I have added in, the cake stays moist for 3-4 days in room temperature. This cake look presentable in this cake liner , and it save my time from lining the cake tin.

Excellent, one on the best cakes I ever made. Would suggest you dust the blueberries with flour or they sink to the bottom of the cake. Will make aga8n.

I followed the recipe exactly as directed ,and I made my cake in a bunt pan. It is taking a little longer to bake bacause of using a deeper pan but it's almost done .I will get back on how it turned out.

I made this recipes exactly as written with no changes or substitutions and it is a moist, light everyday sort of cake. It is really nice with coffee or tea and is the sort of cake you would feel comfortable packing in a school lunchbox. My daughter said it was like a muffin cake, and it does have a muffiny texture and flavor. I found that the texture and flavor were both even better the next day, so this would be a good choice if you want to prepare something the day before. I wouldn't make this cake to serve at a dinner party... but it is perfect for breakfast and afternoon snacking. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

The only change I made was baking the cake in 4 mini loaf pans - a whole 9x13 cake would have gone to waste. The texture is very light. And not too sweet. A great recipe!
