My family loves this recipe, and whenever I host a party, baby shower, etc. people ask me to make this cake. I do, like the other reviewers, add more zest, more lemon juice, and more blueberries. I always add the glaze also because I find the extra lemon in the glaze makes a difference. This cake is best served the day after it is made when the lemon flavor seems to concentrate and become more pronounced.
