Living in Maine, I am lucky to have an endless amount of wild blueberries. This recipe's similar to a pineapple upside down cake. It's easy, light and also great with cranberries. -Nettie Moore, Belfast, Maine

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake didn't turn out well. I think I might have overcooked it.

This cake is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I was a little skeptical about making a cake in a skillet, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The cake was cooked evenly and the blueberries were perfectly caramelized.
