Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • ½ teaspoon baking soda

    • ½ teaspoon salt

    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

    • 1 cup granulated sugar

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar/lemon juice)

    • 1½ cups fresh blueberries

    • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

    1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch pan.
    2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
    3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate eggs one at a time, then blend in vanilla extract.
    5. Alternate Dry and Buttermilk: Gradually add the dry mix and buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
    6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in blueberries to keep them intact.
    7. Bake and Cool: Pour batter into pan and bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

    • Softly Mix: Overmixing can create a dense cake, so keep a light hand when blending.
    • Berry Coating Trick: For frozen berries, toss them in flour to prevent color from bleeding into the batter.
    • Room Temperature Ingredients: For the fluffiest results, ensure eggs and butter are not cold when you star
