I used fresh. I'm not inclined to make cake normally, so if fresh
isn't available (and good), I wouldn't think to make this. The
recipe did say you could used frozen, of course, just don't
thaw them.

(laugh) Oddly enough, I wasn't disappointed in how many
blueberries were in the cake, it was plenty. Probably appeared
that way since most of them sank to the bottom. Your recipe
certainly does have a lot of them.
