I know I posted this over on Facebook but it will be easier to find here in the future and this is a recipe I plan to make often. The cake is as tender as can be be and really moist. You get a blueberry in every bite, yum.
I plan on making a few variations with the cake as soon as this one is finished. I made this for breakfast to go with coffee the other day when I had overnight guests.

Your steps seem a little off.
Whops, hit post too soon.
Are you adding flour to the butter mix? Or is it separate in a bowl with just baking powder?
@Lisa, sorry about that and thanks for catching it. You add half of the flour mixture and then the milk to the butter mixture. Repeat with remaining flour and milk.
