Here’s a simple and delicious blueberry cake recipe for you to try!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for extra richness)
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, just don’t thaw them)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add sour cream: Gradually add the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and mix until combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest (if using). Be careful not to break the berries.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Top with powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence!
