So moist and yummy... I have made this 3 times in all, my wife and kids can't get enough of it... My cake takes a little longer though, about 1 hour 15 minutes all the time... I have also used this same recipe to make blueberry and sour cream muffins, it makes around 16 muffins and bakes at the same temp for about 35 minutes... Thank you... ;o)Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979083314915031373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-17877560707956613492011-02-20T15:11:35.332+00:002011-02-20T15:11:35.332+00:00I grew up in Scotland and picking 'bilberries&...I grew up in Scotland and picking 'bilberries' was a real family outing. They grow closer to the ground in prickly little bushes, so it was a chore of love!The home-grown ones are much smaller and more tart than the US ones we get in the shops. I found 'blueberries' disappointing when I first came across them and still would prefer the Scottish variety!<br />Another tip to stop them sinking, after coating them in flour, is to plop them into the plain cake mix and just poke them down before popping in the oven! It works!Queenielasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280583181831755194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-15578821201528679222011-02-16T16:55:33.869+00:002011-02-16T16:55:33.869+00:00This cake looks delicious - I can definitely see w...This cake looks delicious - I can definitely see why blueberry sales are increasing.

But unlike you, I had always have a crush on them. My mom used to make all kinds of cakes using blueberries when I was a kid, so I guess they stuck with me. Anyway, your cake looks delicious.

I didn't make the frosting hence didn't need the whole amount.<br />Hope that explains it!The Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-75512117647282410182011-02-07T07:36:59.193+00:002011-02-07T07:36:59.193+00:00Looks gorgeous and the sponge looks so moist and t...Looks gorgeous and the sponge looks so moist and tender.

I genuinely think your version looks better than the original. I've often wondered what that cake tastes like, but have been put off making it because all of the fruit has sunk, but it hasn't in yours. <br /><br />Will be added to the 'bake soon' list. Is there any reason why you added less soured cream than in the original recipe?Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-74546569047797617032011-02-06T19:29:52.223+00:002011-02-06T19:29:52.223+00:00Baking with sour cream is soooooo great!!

I think other berries usually produce superior results. Give me a raspberry or blackberry any day. <br /><br />I'm probably on my own on this one but maybe it's time to face down the dominance of the American blueberry with our own humble <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/jun/09/foodanddrink.food" rel="nofollow">bilberry</a>.<br /><br />Let's start a revolution! ;o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
