Almond Blueberry Cake

February 13, 2019

For some reason, blueberries always remind me of summer: sitting outside by the pool, soaking up the sunshine, and then biting into some juicy and refreshing blueberries to cool off. And after this past week of sub-zero temperatures and tons of snow/ice here in Michigan, I could really go for some summer weather right about now!
