Can I Use Frozen Blueberries?

While this delicious recipe is the perfect way to use up fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries work, too. But there’s an extra step involved if you don’t want your berries to bleed into the cake a make it look green.

Add the frozen blueberries to a strainer and run them under cold water until the water runs clear, then gently pat dry with a paper towel and use as you would use fresh blueberries.

Storage Instructions

Any leftover Blueberry Cake should keep covered on the counter for a few days. However, if the weather is really hot, you may want to cover it and keep it in the refrigerator.

You can freeze Blueberry Cake for a couple of months and take it out when you need a last-minute dessert.

Simply bake and allow to cool completely before wrapping it in plastic wrap and storing in a freezer bag (these 2-gallon bags are great for cakes). When you’re ready to eat it, pull it out of the freezer and thaw in the fridge or on the counter for 12 hours before you plan on serving.
