This Blueberry Cake is a moist and tender dessert featuring fresh blueberries, butter, and vanilla. Light and fluffy, it’s perfect for any occasion, whether as a dessert or a sweet breakfast treat.

Ingredients

½ cup butter

¾ cup white sugar, divided

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 egg yolks

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

⅓ cup milk

1 ½ cups fresh blueberries

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 egg whites

1 tablespoon white sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or an equivalent-sized pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and ½ cup of the sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and egg yolks to the butter mixture, beating well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Set the batter aside.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with 1 tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form.
  8. In a separate small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
  9. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Add lemon zest for a citrus twist.

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.

Try mixing in other berries like raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry cake.

Top with a glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice for extra sweetness.
