📋 Directions:
- Prepare the Cake Batter:

- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and 🥛 buttermilk/milk mixture to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Bake the Cake:

- Stir in the 🌽 cornstarch-water mixture and cook 1-2 minutes until thickened. Let cool.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream Frosting:
- In a chilled bowl, whip 🍶 cream, 🍬 powdered sugar, and 🍦 vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until needed.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream, then top with a generous amount of blueberry filling.
- Add the second cake layer and cover the top and sides with whipped cream.
- Decorate:
- Drizzle remaining blueberry filling over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Garnish with fresh 🫐 blueberries and mint leaves if desired.
