Recipe Weekend: Mom's Blueberry Cake with Lemon Glaze


Summer is here, along with the summer berries! This is an oldie but a goodie- we always put it in a bundt pan- it seems to go farther that way, and make it more portable when you cut a slice! 


Please note: we don't make our glaze as thick as the cake shown below normally, we like it a little thinner. But other's don't, so I wanted to show a picture of the thicker glaze!
