Very easy and quite tasty, but lacking a little something. Will try adding vanilla or maybe lemon zest next time. I used canola oil instead of shortening, maple syrup instead of sugar, rice milk in place of regular milk, and to make it gluten free used 2 c rice flour and 1 c tapioca flour. I dusted blueberries in 1/4 c rice flour. Batter was very thin and I had to bake it more than double the time (due to my substitutions), but in the end it set and turned out quite nicely.

This was a great cake. I really liked it, it turned out perfectly. I used frozen blueberries and it was still yummy, I bet it will be even tastier with fresh. I'd like to figure out a good icing for it as well. The powdered sugar for dusting is really pretty, and great for presentation, but sometimes you just want icing. Also, if you are not planning on serving it til the next afternoon or evening I would wait til then to put on the powdered sugar, because it will absorbe the moisture and look grayish if you put it on too far ahead.
