Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups sour cream
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 0.5 cups of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer, until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
On low speed, mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with 1 cup of sour cream in two additions. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to coat. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to avoid crushing the blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, if desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Blueberry Sour Cream Cake!
