"This is supposed to rope in the "boys", thus the name "Boy Bait"! I suppose anyone could be roped in by the taste of this scrumptious dessert."

This was delicious, great taste and texture. I omitted the lemon zest as I did not have it and substituted 2t. of vanilla,I also halved the amount of clove (did not know if the children would like it). I baked it in a 9x13 pan for 40 min. and it was perfect. I loved seeing some of the blueberries on top it looked so appetizing.Brought it for dessert at my mom's Sat. BBQ and it was gone in no time. Thank you for the great recipe.
