I've already had WAY too much cake. This is sooo good. It's the perfect angel food light-textured cake with beautiful, moist blueberries floating all through it. I skipped the glaze but otherwise followed the recipe and I wouldn't change a thing. This is a real keeper and is definitely going to become a seasonal tradition at our house. Thank you so much, Kari.

This was great!! Only 4 ww points a slice, if you divide it into ten servings. I couldn't get the egg whites to form stiff peaks, I think I got some egg yolk in there. Nonetheless, it is very good. Tastes like a blueberry muffin, but lighter. I didn't make the glaze, as the cake stuck to my pan and was all torn up. Seemed silly to glaze it after that. :) Also omitted the lemon zest, as I didn't have any lemon, just used a mix of vanilla and lemon extracts. Very tasty!!!
