How to Bake the Ultimate Blueberry Cake

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at SCU chapter.

Growing up spending summers on my grandparent’s blueberry farm in New Hampshire, I spent my days stuffing my face with blueberries straight from the bush. But when I was not stuffing my face full of handfuls of blueberries, I was stuffing my face full of my grandmother’s famous blueberry cake.

People from all over New Hampshire come to my grandparents’ Blueberry Farm just to get their hands on a slice of my grandmother’s famous family recipe. Grandma knows best amirite? There is such high demand for her cake that she often spends her summer days slaving away in the kitchen making this mouthwatering summer sweet.

If you are ever in the Portsmouth area, make sure to stop by Blueberry Bay Farm to get your hands on a slice. If you’re not a New Hampshire native, check out the recipe below to make this delicious summer treat on your own!
