Blueberry Bliss image

This recipe comes from the January/February 2009 publication of Saltscapes - Canada's East Coast Magazine. They held a blueberry dessert contest and this one was entered by Pat Ribley and won 3rd place. I have another blueberry cake recipe posted which is similar; however this particular one has a topping consisting of brown sugar, ground cinnamon and butter that goes on before baking. Presently it is baking in my oven so I can't comment as to whether or not it will win a prize in my judging category!!! As it is a recipe from a magazine, I am posting it to Zaar mainly for safekeeping so it doesn't get lost. If it passes my husband's taste test and he comments on it, I will take a photo and post it as well.
