Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese. If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture in the batter. Additionally, you can substitute the cooking oil with applesauce for a healthier twist. This cake pairs beautifully with Peach Blueberry Cobbler for a delightful dessert spread.
