Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the fresh blueberries, shredded carrots, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and gently smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Slice and serve your Muffin Glory Cake with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
