Blueberry Crumb Cake/Pound Cake

Blueberry are so delicious specially during the spring/summer season. I enjoy making them in muffins/cupcakes, but this pound cake is a definitely keeper.

My goal is to inspire you to bake them and try some fresh fruit from your local market place. Enjoy local food.
