Rich Blueberry Sour Cream Cake

"My mother has been giving me all her old written recipes, she is off all treatments, and I guess she is handing me down her legacy. She used to be an awesome baker and sure hope she wrote this recipe down correctly, cause it was one of my favorites! I hope someone will try it and let me know how it comes out, or how it can be improved upon...or if the steps are even correct (!), I am SO not a baker! Some of the instructions do not make a whole lotta sense to me, because I do not bake, but maybe some of you can come up with something and make this work!"

  1. This was excellent!!! Came across this recipe in the Random Tag game here on Zaar .. would've never found it otherwise! I normally don't 'look' for desserts of this type ... VERY easy to mix up and get into the oven , the end result was a nice moist ,slightly sweet (but not overly) delicious cake. I did have to use thawed frozen blueberries , but didn't alter the recipe at all. I will DEFINITELY be making this again! Thank you SO much for posting!!
     
  2. This tastes like a blueberry muffin! My 10 year old son and I made this together and it was a great way to teach him what the term "cream together" meant. We also had a great discussion on why to add each egg separately. Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  3. Thanks so much for sharing Crabzilla, my family & I really enjoyed this lovely treat. I used frozen wild berries in the cake. It was moist and semi sweet, with a lovely texture. I will definitely make again.
     
  4. Delightful dessert! I used frozen blueberries, thawed. The cake was tasty and moist, enjoyed by all. It would probably be lovely with any type of fruit. As far as instruction #5, ending the mixing with the flour, I'm not sure why either but I have seen that same direction in other recipes, and well, if it works, don't fix it!! Thanks :)
