Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter 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, cream the unsalted butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce to the butter, mixing until well incorporated.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet batter, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest using a spatula, taking care not to crush the berries.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for an added treat.
