Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 cups Fresh Maine 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) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions (beginning and ending with the flour). Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
