    I have been making this recipe for 11 years, ever since I saw the recipe in the June/July 2000 mag! It is fabulous! I make it every summer after we go blueberry picking. I'll even add an extra cup of blueberries, just cuz I have them! The BEST ever!

    I love making this recipe, but it is always so dry that I have to serve vanilla cream with it. Is it supposed to be about the same dryness as coffee cake?

    I like this dessert because of the high blueberry ratio to cake batter, but I have tried other blueberry cakes that I would prefer to make instead.

    This is bby far the BEST blueberry buckle recipe I've ever made. I've been making it for years, since I had found it published in the magazine. It is always a big hit. It's great when served still warm with vanilaa ice cream....yum.
