BLUEBERRY BUCKLE WITH LEMON SAUCE

Blueberry Buckle with Lemon Sauce image

This recipe is a family favorite, served warm as dessert, plain or with a scoop of ice cream. My family also likes it cold as a coffee cake. But the lemon sauce topping makes this traditional dessert a little different, enhancing the flavor of the blueberries. -Maureen Carr, Carman, Manitoba
