Tips & Tricks
If you want to make the cake gluten or dairy-free, you can use gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk.
You can use castor sugar instead of brown sugar.
Avoid using a blender to mix the batter, as this can make it too dense.
You can also use frozen berries instead of fresh blueberries.
If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
