Blueberry sponge cake

This cake is an enhancement to the very basic Victoria sponge cake. We celebrated new year day with cake which was baked with a generous sprinkling of frozen wild blueberries. 
Barbara Davis's "The Last of the Moon Girls" is a beautiful, heartfelt and compassionate story that teaches you the beauty of forgiveness and moving on. An important lesson as we herald the new year. Lizzy receives news that her grandmother, Althea has passed on. Lizzy had moved away from her ancestral home and had never visited Althea who had brought her up. She had put as much space as possible from everything to do with her Moon heredity. But now she has to face it as she is the last of the Moons and she plans to sell the ancestral property. But there are dark tales related to the land as two teenage sisters had been found drowned in its lake years ago and the local folk placed the blame on Althea. As Lizzy turns up there, she wants to clear Althea's name from the murders. And she finds so much more...Althea's diary with stories engulfed with lessons for her, a neighbor who is always by her side to help and support her. Hope you like it as much as I loved this uplifting tale.
