  11. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  12. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream frosting on top.
  13. Add the second cake layer and cover the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream frosting.
  14. Decorate with fresh blueberries.
