Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use fresh or frozen blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
• Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the cake tough.
• Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
• Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
