This is called a cake but is not tall and looks more like a danish to me because it is cooked in a 15x10x1-inch pan.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon quick-cooking tapioca
4 cups fresh blueberries, divided (you may also use frozen blueberries)
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 -2 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening, and sugar.
2. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
3. Add extracts.
4. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
5. Spread two-thirds of the batter in a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
6. For filling, combine flour, cornstarch and tapioca in a large bowl.
7. Add 1/2 cup of blueberries; mash with a fork and stir well.
8. Add lemon peel and remaining berries; toss to coat.
9. Pour evenly over batter in pan.
