This is the cake you take over to your friend’s house-simple, delicious, fruity southern blueberry pudding cake. The nice thing is you can use fresh or frozen blueberries, so this a year round treat. Serve it still warm with some vanilla bean ice cream, and you will be the baker of the block. You don’t even have to lug out the mixer if you don’t want to, I grabbed a few big bowls and called it good. Southern blueberry pudding cake-because why not?
