Passed down through generations, this heirloom blueberry cake has been a family favorite for over 40 years! This recipe uses the original ingredients with a few modern tweaks. I've successfully substituted Splenda for half the sugar and egg whites for whole eggs. Frost as desired; I recommend vanilla frosting with a dusting of cinnamon-sugar for a delightful finish.
