Should I use fresh or frozen blueberries?
Either type will work for this recipe. Fresh blueberries are slightly tarter, while frozen blueberries are sweeter.
Can I cut this recipe in half?
Of course, you can! Just be sure to adjust the amount of all ingredients, and the cooking time depending on the baking dish you use or how thick you make this.
Why is my batter so thick?
Much of this will depend on the ingredients you use, the climate you are in, and how much it is stirred. It is a fact that batter will thicken as it cooks. You can add a slight bit more of liquid to the batter. You could also add more baking soda or baking powder. This helps the cake rise and be less dense.
Can I use a different topping?
Certainly, you could implement a meringue topping instead of the whipped topping, or you could make a simple cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients
- White cake mix
- Fresh blueberries
- Water
- Granulated sugar
- Raspberry gelatin mix
