A favorite choice of fruits often used is the Mangosteen. This queen of fruits is not available for sale in the United States. This is because of the added risk of the Mediterranean fruit fly infestation upon its importing. However, fruit enthusiasts are able to obtain the byproduct of this fruit in juice or capsule form. Mangosteen is a tropical fruit from Indonesia. It’s about the size of a small apple and contains a delicious white core that breaks off in wedges similar to an orange.

All xanthones displayed growth inhibitory effects. Among them, alpha-mangosteen showed complete inhibition at 10 microM through the induction of apoptosis.”(Matsumoto K, Akao Y, Kobayashi E, Ohguchi K, Ito T, Tanaka T, Iinuma M, Nozawa Y: Gifu International Institute of Biotechnology, 1-1 Naka-Fudogaoka, Kakamigahara, August 2003)

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!
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.

Oh…I like Janis' answer! You may also try ground flax seed one time to see how it tastes.
Mash your banana and add that and the blueberries into the wet mix, cook as you would any other way. I make these all the time, they're awesome
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.
