sound’s very yummy I f
Use lemon cake mix – delicious!
Great idea!
Great recipe!! I’ll make this again
Can you use frozen blueberries
Yes that should be fine
These came out really good. I used sugar free cake mix and frozen huckleberries.
These are so good. I added a little cinnamon to the topping. Yum!
Can this be baked as a cake?
I haven’t tried it myself but that sounds delicious!
