Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Berries
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting berries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until fully combined; set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream together the 1/2 cup of softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat the 2 room-temperature eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, followed by the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the 1/2 cup of milk to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the batter is smooth and no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, toss the 2 cups of fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour until lightly coated, then gently fold them into the batter with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula, and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes before carefully turning it out onto the rack to cool completely.
Notes
Let the cake cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
