Absolutely Amazing! Husband said it's the BEST cake I've ever made... :- I used lime in place of lemon and double creme in place of half and half.

The second time around with variations helped huge: reduced the blueberries to 1.5 cups, lightly tossed the blueberries in some flour, and used 1/4 cup of milk instead of 1/2 cup of half and half. The original version was very raw int he middle, no matter how much longer I cooked it. Great taste!
