How to Make Blueberry Cake

Step 1 – Prep Work

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round pan (or use a bundt pan for a blueberry bundt cake).

Step 2 – Mix Dry Ingredients

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Step 3 – Cream Butter & Sugar

Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.

Step 4 – Combine Wet & Dry

Alternate adding dry mix and milk to the butter mixture. Mix just until combined, no overmixing!

Step 5 – How to Keep Blueberries from Sinking in Cake

Toss blueberries in 1 tbsp flour (this trick works for blueberry pound cake, blueberry coffee cake, and more!). Fold them gently into the batter.

Step 6 – Bake & Cool

Pour batter into the pan. Top with extra berries if you want. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden. Let cool before slicing.
