Overmixing the batter can cause the gluten to develop too much, resulting in a tough and dry cake.

Tips on Dusting Blueberries in Flour:

This blueberry pound cake recipe can be made with either fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them; first, dust them with flour before adding them to the batter.
