This makes a very fine textured cake. The blueberry and lemon flavours go well together-one does not overpower the other. I used homemade lemonade for this as the local supermarkets do not carry the Newmans brand. The tart sauce was a nice accompaniment to the sweet cake. This dessert is at its best served warm and fresh. Tasty!
