This is a good, dense, moist cake--but made as is it is not very flavorful. The glaze helps, but it just was not lemon-y enough for my taste. On the second try I made a few additions. 1st I added 1 Tbls lemon juice along with the grated peel so that it truly was lemon-y tasting, 2nd I used 1 tsp vanilla vs 1/2 as the recipe calls for, and 3rd I bumped up the blueberries, a whole lot--two pints vs two cups which I coated with the juice of 1/2 a lemon. These changes made all the difference and was a hit at the party I brought it to.08/01/09

My cake is moist and has frozen blueberries, which was fine. I regret not adding a lot more lemon zest to the cake batter, because I can hardly taste the lemon in the cake. Seems like empty calories without much flavor. More powdered sugar in the glaze might make it more opaque white. Not sure I'll make this again.04/12/09
