Blueberry Stack Cake

AlabamaGirl71's Note:

This is a recipe I got from a friend's grandmother; everyone who has ever tried it has wanted the recipe. They're also usually surprised at how easy it is to make; they think it takes alot more work than it does. If you don't like blueberries, you can try other types of fruit; one of the ladies at work told me she tried it with raspberries and it was just as good.

This cake is pure amazing! My husband had been asking for a blueberry cake for a few weeks so I got online to find a recipe. I'm so happy that this is the recipe that I stubled upon! Easy ain't the word for making this cake, and it's so delicious...a big hit with all our friends and family! This will definitely be a keeper and will be made very often at my house. I'm thinking about next time using strawberries instead of blueberries just to switch things up. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! GOD BLESS!

Absolutely fabulous. I'm not even much of a blueberry fan, but I made it for my dad for his birthday because he loves them. I loved the cake and so did he. I would like to try it with raspberry pie filling next time though I think. It looks so pretty when you cut it open too! I love that there are so many layers. It makes the cake more special. Thanks for posting the keeper!
