- Mix in the cocoa powder.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt just til there are no streaks of flour in the batter. Beat in the hot water til combined. Use a spatula to gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Bake 31-34 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake.
- Remove cake from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting
- Add all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Turn mixer on low and slowly turn it up to medium high. Beat 1-2 minutes until frosting is completely combined and smooth.*

Frosting: If the frosting is too thin, add more sifted powdered sugar a few tablespoons at a time.
