This blueberry banana cake is perfect for breakfast or dessert. I was able to make 2 cakes with this recipe in loaf pans. You could just halve the recipe to make 1 cake if you prefer. I loved how this cake turned out and it was light, moist and sweet. I also wanted to freeze the second cake for a friend who is expecting a baby this month. (I let the cake cool, then wrapped it in plastic wrap and then in foil, and placed it in the freezer.)
