Blueberry Jam Cake or as I call it

Ok so its not the prettiest cake in the bakery lol, the addition of the jam makes the cake a very dark color as does the addition of the blueberry juice to the glaze, but as my son says "its not how it looks but how it tastes that matters!" And let me tell you this turned out amazing! It is like a giant, super moist, super flavorful blueberry muffin! the glaze gave it that extra flavor, however this cake is so delicious it can stand on its own or you can dust it with a bit of powdered sugar. I was bored after work yesterday since my son was off with his daddy and i hit the kitchen. Groceries were slim pickens lol since i am back to work and have to wait till fridays to shop now. : ) So I pulled out a few things from the frig and cabinet and this is what i came up with!! Will definitely be trying this with other flavors of jam!! Dont let the funny color turn you off, if you make this cake you will absolutely love it!!
