Simple Blueberry Cake

Three Options for the Top: 1) Use my powdered sugar glaze topping. 2) Keep it plain with no topping at all. 3) Before baking, you can sprinkle the top with sugar for a little extra browning. - Jenny Jones

    This cake is very easy, delicious, and low in sugar. I did use the whole package of blueberries, 2 cups.
