Ingredients

1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
3 eggs
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup canola oil
1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Blue Berry Citrus Cake

I made this last weekend. It was so light and full of flavor.

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!

This cake is VERY moist and is not really finely textured - the taste is ok but I prefer a finer texture

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?

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. Yum!

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. Joscy
