You'll be marching around your kitchen waving that whisk after your first bite (cue the band!).

Recipe Notes
- You could use frozen blueberries, but the cake batter will probably turn blue instead of being yellow.
- The original recipe called for 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and milk for the glaze. I had so much leftover after glazing the cake that I cut the ingredients in half for the recipe.
- Store the leftover cake in an airtight container on the counter.
Here's how to make it:
- Put all the crumb ingredients into a bowl.
- Using your fingers or a fork, mash together until completely combined.
- In another bowl, beat all the cake ingredients except blueberries together with an electric mixer or whisk until well combined.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Spread the cake batter into a buttered square cake pan.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 40 to 45 minutes.
- While the cake bakes, stir together the glaze ingredients, adding enough milk to make desired drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
