A World Without Wheat.....GF Blueberry Cake

Need a quick treat for company: make a delicious blueberry cake, G-F of course!

I wanted to provide some tasty recipes I have tried recently.  This one is so easy and tastes great.  You can use the g-f flour mix I use for most of my baking; see at the end of this recipe.  I am supposing you could use frozen blueberries or replace the blueberries with raspberries or blackberries.  Enjoy!
