Maine Blueberry Cake

Submitted by Aimchick

"This recipe takes the cake!! I love it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Best with fresh blueberries, but frozen will do too. Always coat the blueberries in flour before adding them to the mixture. I don't know why, but my mother taught me that."

The reason you coat the blueberries in flour is that they don't sink to the botton when the cake is baking. You will have blueberries in every bite. I have made this cake and it is absolutely delish!! THANKS!!

I made a half sized recipe and used 1/2 a cup of Splenda instead of the 7/8 cup of sugar ask for. I think that would have been ok except I got side tracked and left the cake in the pan too long and it got too heavy on the bottom. I'm NOT holding the recipe responsible in any way and the flavor is delicious. The texture at the top of the loaf is almost like an Angelfood it so light and fluffy. I skipped the glaze to save on sugar. I'll surely make this again and not leave it in the pan to sweat and compact at at the bottom.
