“My mother has been making this cake for over 40 years and it is always a crowd pleaser! The ingredients are from the original recipe. I have had good success with substituting Splenda® for half the sugar and using egg whites instead of the whole eggs. Frost, if desired. I use vanilla frosting and dust with cinnamon-sugar.” - by AuntieJ

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Mix sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, salt, cinnamon, buttermilk, flour, baking powder, and blueberries, stirring after each addition, in a large bowl. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.

"Awesome recipe. I substituted butter for shortening (the same amount) and instead of sour cream, I used 1 cup of vanilla yogurt. If you plan on doubling the recipe, I suggest baking it on 325 instea..." See mored of 350, as it is a denser cake. Will definitely be making this again! and again and again and again :)"

"I halved this recipe and baked it in an 8x8 pan. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Even with the smaller cake, it still took the full baking time to test done. This is a nice, moist, classic..." See more blueberry cake. We enjoyed it with a little whipped cream and additional fresh berries."
