This is SO good! I always add lemon zest to brighten it up.

I baked this cake a second time and instead of cinnamon, I opted for a vanilla bean which just happened to equal rhe 1/4 t. the recipe called for. I also used Madagascar vanilla extract instead of another brand.

We enjoyed these flavors much more so. We didn’t care for the cinnamon even though it was only a small amount. It seemed to overpower the blueberry flavor.

I also reduced the baking time by 3 minutes to 35 minutes, so the crust was much less browned.

Perfection!

In reply to Denisemarie. If you try it, use only a little. It can be stronger than cinnamon.

The combination of sweet blueberries and fluffy cake makes for a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. This cake is also relatively easy to make and can be customized to suit different tastes by adding in other fruits or spices.

In reply to Kate.

The only thing I might change is replacing the cinnamon with another spice. Wonder if cardamom would work. Any other spice suggestions? Perhaps vanilla beans along with the extract?

Thank you!

Made this cake over the long President’s Day weekend. It was super easy to assemble and is incredibly moist and delicious! My husband gave it two thumbs up, so needless to say, I’ll be baking this again. I appreciated the use of honey instead of sugar and the buttermilk gave it a nice but subtle tang!

It’s loaded with blueberries so it’s not too cakey.

I made a blueberry compote with the leftover blueberries to top the cake then finished it off with whipped cream.

Thank you!

I make this often, with the following changes: I use oil instead of butter (a mixture of canola and olive oil), add a couple of tsp brown sugar to add a bit of additional sweetness, use natural almond milk with a bit of lemon juice for buttermilk, and add about a quarter cup of almond flour/meal. I grease pan with vegan margarine, with no parchment paper. Finally, I bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes (400 degrees scorches, for me). Also I add more cinnamon, and sprinkle top with some brown sugar. Always comes out delicious.
