  • Use a good quality vanilla extract. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the cakes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cakes dry.
  • Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before inverting them onto a plate. This will help prevent the blueberries from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature. They can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
