Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square pan. In a large mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar until well combined. Add milk and egg and beat again.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and stir with a spatula until combined. Fold in blueberries and spread batter into prepared pan.
For topping, place all ingredients in food processor and process until combined. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
Bake cake for 40 to 50 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 to 30 minutes before serving or cool completely and freeze, wrapped in foil. Bring to room temperature before cutting into squares.
Bake cake (flavor
of choice) in 9” x13” sheet cake pan. Allow cake to cool
completely and cut into 1inch cubes. Depending upon the size of the dessert
that you plan to make, use either 2 or 3 large packages of pudding mix.
Make pudding as directed on the packages. While the pudding is still
thin, blend in the cool whip. Using a large, deep serving bowl, layer
cake, pour layer of pudding mix over the cake and then add a layer of
blueberries. Continue layering cake, pudding and blueberries until bowl
is full. End with layer of blueberries. Chill until set. Remove from
refrigerator and top with vanilla yogurt and sprinkle remaining cake
crumbs over the top. Place back into the refrigerator until time to serve.
This dish is at its best if allowed to set 24 hours before serving.
Note: I like to
use a deep, clear glass bowl. This dessert is beautiful, as well as,
wonderful to eat. You can use sugar free pudding mix and fat free yogurt
if desired.
* I have used a yellow cake mix,
a white cake mix and a pecan cake mix. All are wonderful.
**
If I use my big bowl, I use 3 packages of pudding mix…2 vanilla(s)
and 1 lemon.
*** Use any size cool whip. The more cool whip that you use, the lighter
this dessert will be.
