This has become my all-time favorite cake recipe. Quick and easy to prepare--- and yes, I use frozen (unthawed) blueberries all the time. Simply the best!!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"09\/02\/2010 17:00","GUID":"cd01c0d6e7d147e88d48c8167311d8ca","MemberId":4836431,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kmarket","SubmittedDate":"09\/02\/2010 17:00"},{"Comment":"

I'd love to try this recipe, but does anyone know how frozen blueberries would work in it? Should they be thawed or left frozen?

Blue Berry Citrus Cake<\/p>

I made this last weekend. It was so light and full of flavor.<\/p>

Some people didn't like blueberrys and wouldn't try it. I think I will make it next time with out the blueberrys. Even though I had serveral request for the recipe. I loved it!<\/p>

This cake is VERY moist and is not really finely textured - the taste is ok but I prefer a finer texture<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"","GUID":"ca0f2f90b5d74f6ebfab587729dc6896","MemberId":3557763,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"quiltb","SubmittedDate":"06\/02\/2009 12:59"},{"Comment":"

What is the equivalent ,in Canada , to your Domino or C&H pure cane dark brown sugar, the granulated is your regular white . How about the powdered sugar , is that the icing sugar or the very fine granulated sugar?<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"","GUID":"8c3143fb5bd24c80a5a1f9fc5095eab3","MemberId":4101816,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Hecdtnr","SubmittedDate":"05\/28\/2009 21:08"},{"Comment":"

Yes, 13 X 9 will work fine. You might have too much frosting since you will be putting frosting over only the top. Use leftover frosting between 2 graham cracker squares as a snack or treat for the kid.

I would like to try this. My family prefers sheet cake (13x9x2) over layer cake. Would I get same results using 13x9x2 inch baking dish or is it not recommended. Thank you.
