Recipe: Blueberry Bundt Cake
Blueberry bundt cake! Sweetness, especially on a sunny Sunday morning (that’s when I made it…make your bundt cake this weekend!). Okay – I usually use fresh blueberries for this recipe, but not only did the store not have them…the store was offering 2000 points (which is 2$) per can of pie filling. Since the can was 2.49$, sure, I went for it. Turned out well – my suggestion, however, use fresh fruit – it’s a healthier option. Once you’ve tried this recipe, be sure to…
