I have always liked blueberry. And I have always liked lemon, especially lemon desserts. But when you combine the two together I LOOOOVE the results. For a long time I thought this was just my personal heaven, but lately I see the combination everywhere, so I certainly can't be alone.
This is also a great moment for me because I have finally pulled out my 6 quart crock pot & was able to use it for this recipe. I use my 3 quart far more, but there are some things, this recipe included, that call for a 5-7 quart crock pot.
There is a little prep work involved, but it really wasn't hard or time consuming. I hope you enjoy this. While it turned out good, it was really a "just ok" recipe for me. There really was no "pudding" texture, but the "cake" turned out nice, like a sponge cake. The aroma in the house was sublime & the flavors are very nice, I'm just not sold on the texture. If you try it please let me know how it turned out & how you liked it.
