Matt, I think this is the one you're talking about.

Hey Matt!
I made the mistake of making this with frozen blueberries -- I had them on hand and the fresh ones were really expensive in January. Don't do it!!! They all sunk to the bottom. I had blue gooey stuff with cake on top. Yuck!

Longhorn - Try tossing frozen blueberries (not thawed) with flour before adding them to the cake batter. The flour keeps them suspended in the batter and prevents them from sinking!
