I lightened up this quick and easy dessert by making a few substitutions. Because the treat is so sweet, no one will know it's healthy, too.—Roxanne Chan, Albany, California.

I baked this Lemon Blueberry Cornmeal Cake this morning in a well-oiled 12-inch cast iron skillet; reduced baking time to 25 minutes...otherwise, followed the recipe to a tee and wow, it turned out so good. Shared with co-workers and we all give it a thumbs-up, five star rating. Thank you, Roxanne Chan for sharing and thanks again to Taste of Home for posting with such a beautiful photo!
