Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a favorite cake that Grandma would bring to work for the staff and Doctors. Back in the 1970's Mary M., a neighbor on Tyndall Avenue, made the cake for us. It was a big hit. Grandma has made it ever since. It is filled with juicy sweet blueberries and is perfect for breakfast, brunch, snacking, or dessert.
