Celebrate National Blueberry Month by making a pot of delicious coffee or tea and serving it with this Blueberry Crumb Coffee Cake or the Spiced Blueberry Cake. And continue to eat blueberries all year. These tiny berries are one of the most nutritious foods we have so take advantage of them at least once a week.
BLUEBERRY CRUMB COFFEE CAKE
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, not thawed
1/2 cup milk
TOPPING:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
Cream softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy; beat in egg. Place blueberries in a bowl and dust with a small amount of the flour mixture. Toss gently to coat all berries. Add the remaining flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternating with the milk. Mix continually through the adding process. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
To make topping, mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Cut in the butter until crumbly.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the topping over the batter. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees until topping is golden brown. Cut into squares. Serve warm.

Depends upon whether you want a high-bush or low-bush blueberry, Vaccinium. My favorite is the Top hat blueberry and it is a low bush…only gets 18-24 inches tall and it can really put out the blueberries. If you are interested in container blueberries the Top Hat is a real winner: http://www.naturehills.com/product/top_hat_blueberry.aspx.
For a high-bush plant that is very sweet and great producer try Duke, it produces a large sweet berry. http://www.naturehills.com/product/duke_blueberry.aspx
The ingredients for many baked items are very similar. Blueberry muffins, blueberry scones, blueberry coffeecake, blueberry pancakes, etc. will all have flour, baking powder and/or baking soda, sugar, salt, and a combination of different liquids such as oil, milk, cream, sour cream, buttermilk, etc. It's the amount of each of these ingredients that determines the texture, denseness and mouth-feel of the baked product.
So to answer your question, yes, you can probably use a blueberry muffin mix to make a cake, however, you will need to find a recipe for some kind of a blueberry cake to see what might be missing from the muffin mix that would be needed to make it into a cake mix.
The only other suggestion I have is to maybe find a blueberry pound cake box mix, and make cupcakes out of it. I'm sure your daughter would love this just as much. Happy birthday to the little one!

Jams are made from crushed or ground, whole fruit and usually have a thick consistency due to high pectin content.
Conserves are jams made from a mixture of fruits. They usually contain citrus fruit, nuts, and raisins.

Use more cornstarch.
