It's very good! I was wondering where's the butter and stuff, but seems you don't need it. It's very tasty and feels very healthy too! Thanks for the recipe!

SUPER YUMMY! I used this for my daughters birthday cake. It was so good! Moist, and you could taste both the blueberries and the chocolate at the same time. We topped it with the blueberry whipped cream topping, heaven! Thanks for such a great recipe. This will become a standard recipe around here! I am thinking I will try it with other fruit substitutions in the future.
