Blueberry Cake RecipeEnjoy a sweet treat with this blueberry cake recipe. A homemade cake recipe, the batter is ready for the oven in just a short time. While it takes a few extra minutes, beating the egg whites separately and folding them into the batter makes this cake especially light and fluffy. Medical professionals agree that blueberries are good for you. They rank the highest of any fruit for antioxidants, are packed with Vitamin C and are a good source of fiber. When adding fruit to the batter, it is always a good idea to dredge the fruit in a little flour. It keeps the fruit from clumping together and sinking to the bottom of the batter. You can make this blueberry dessert any time of the year as fresh or frozen blueberries can be used. Blueberry Cake Recipe Ingredients
