Blueberry Mystery Cake image

This recipe is a childhood favorite that my grandma passed to my mom and now I am passing to my own kids! It is quick and easy, and great for summer picnics. Plus, the little ones are fascinated when I tell them the boiling water is the 'mystery' behind the cake. Also great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the blueberries sank to the bottom.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the blueberries were tough.

The crumb topping was a little dry, but the cake itself was very moist and flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would adjust the crumb topping recipe.
