Grandma's Blueberry Squares

Growing up, my grandma used to have dinner at her house every Sunday. She would also cook a special dinner of our choosing on our birthdays. Every meal she prepared always ended with a dessert of some kind, always. I don't think I've ever dined at her house and not had dessert.

These delicious blueberry squares were requested at the last family birthday party and everyone loved them! It had been awhile since I had these and I forgot how good they were. Buttery moist cake is layered with blueberry filling and topped with a zesty frosting. They're wonderful served plain, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
