Whole Wheat Chocolate Blueberry Cake

Blueberries & Dark Chocolate are two of my favorite treats, I can't wait until the Summer when blueberries are ripe for picking & are super cheap at the store! They are probably my favorite seasonal fruit, honeycrisp apples come in at a close second, though!

I made this cake last night that combined chocolate, blueberries AND whole wheat AND it had absolutely no butter.

I know you are thinking, "Oh, Ashley". But seriously, it was really very delicious, very moist and you couldn't even tell it was missing that whole stick of butter! Ben even liked it, and he is usually very skeptical of my desserts turned healthy.

Unfortunately, I can't take credit for the recipe...it came from a lady named Dorothy who won the $25,000 prize from Better Homes & Gardens for her cake.

Thank you Dorothy:
