I love fresh baked fruits. They are so sweet and tasty and this fresh blueberry cake is no exception.
As many of you know, I freeze fresh berries so I can bake with them year-round. They are also great in shakes and smoothies. I am glad we are heading into berry season because my fresh berry supply is getting low.

The great thing about fresh berry recipes is you can substitute any berry in its place and the recipe is still delicious. What is your favorite fruit to use in baking?
