This blueberry cake is a nice way to use fresh, farm stand blueberries. But you can use frozen if they are out of season. The lemon flavor brightens the blueberries which can sometimes go bitter during cooking. I also used Greek yogurt to give a nice dense cake texture with a little zing. You can substitute buttermilk or sour cream if you prefer. It makes a great dessert or brunch dish. I made it for a neighbor as a thank you gift for house sitting during our vacation, and it was a big hit.
