A simple and delicious cake perfect for breakfast or dessert, featuring fresh blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use frozen blueberries, but toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent sinking.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
