moist blueberry cake
guy nite has rolled around AGAIN. oh, wait. it is every doggone thursday! i am not sure if i explained what 'guy's nite' is. my husband's best friends from college come over, they go down into the man cave, watch sports, hang out and eat. not too shabby, huh? each one of them takes turns paying for the food and i always provide some type of dessert. so, the bonus of this testosterone filled night, is i can test out new dessert recipes on them. so today, i knew i wanted to work with blueberries i had in the freezer. i only have one blueberry muffin recipe on my website and that needs to change. thankfully, that change was made today. it was DEELICCIIOOUUSS! 🙂

- garnish the blueberry cake with powdered sugar, if desired. slice...
and eat!
i used frozen blueberries because that is all i had on hand. feel free to add fresh ones if you like. either way, it will be delicious.
