I just finished baking this breakfast cake. I can hardly wait to savour a piece of it. Thank you so much for this recipe
This recipe looks fabulous. Question, does one buy the blueberry sauce or make it? Also could you make with fresh or frozen blueberries?
Hi Darlene, Within the recipe you will see a link for homemade blueberry sauce. Yes, you can use fresh or frozen. Thanks for visiting Lady Behind The Curtain 🙂
