Country Fresh Blueberry Cake

I have got Spring Fever!

When I see fresh berries in the store

I just have to pick up a few cartons,

 run home to make a new

recipe that will make me feel as if

Spring has arrived! (lol)

Surely I am not the only one to do this?!

This recipe is one I had the

Middle School Students make in class.

Therefore I am safe in saying it

is a "kid friendly" recipe.  :)
