Tips:

Use fresh or frozen wild blueberries: Fresh wild blueberries are available in season during the summer months. If you can't find fresh wild blueberries, frozen wild blueberries will work just as well.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before you start baking the cake. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Use a cream cheese frosting: A cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for a wild blueberry cake. It's rich and tangy, and it perfectly complements the sweet blueberries.

Conclusion:

This wild blueberry cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with fresh or frozen wild blueberries, and it has a moist and tender crumb. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch.
