Wowza! What a winner Baby Kato! The honey-butter sauce was the real kicker! I've had plenty of lemon-blueberry cakes in my day, but the sauce really made it shine! Straight to my "dessert" cookbook this one goes. Gosh I so love blueberries and the lemon flavour came through beautifully for a perfect balance! Will make again and again! Made for ZWT4.

Oh my, this was yummy! I love blueberries so this hit the spot. Unfortunately, I did not have wild blueberries so had to settle for the regular. The cake was delicious by itself (yes, I couldn't wait to taste it until I had made the sauce) but, when you top it with the sauce, it is incredible! Made for ZWT4.

Oh, gosh, BK, what a fabulous cake. Prepared for dessert tonight and was sorry I ate dinner. I should have gone directly to the cake, not passing GO! The cake is great, the sauce sent it out of the park! I must admit I did add a little zest to the sauce, but otherwise, wouldn't change a thing. Thnx so much for posting, BK. Made for ZWT4.

This was an excellent recipe! The cake was moist and tasty. I thought the sauce and cake were a little too sweet and kept thinking the whole time I was making it...."I should add more lemon juice, I should add more lemon juice". I'm sorry I didn't as I prefer a tart lemon flavor with my lemon desserts. I did add more lemon to the sauce though and that made it much better. It was delicious and we did totally enjoy it. Made for Zingo for ZWT4 while touring around the world with my Babes.
