On a cake plater, place your cake, then top with your blueberry sauce, top with your whipped cream spreading it over the blueberries.
Complete with fresh blueberries over the top of the whip cream. Keep in the fridge for about 1 hour before serving.
BAKING TIPS:
Make blueberry sauce the day before making shortcake so the blueberry sauce is sat and cool in fridge.
Tossing blueberries in a dusting of flour before folding it into cake, stops berries from dropping to the bottom of cake.
