Ingredients

• 230 grams unsalted butter, softened
• 300 grams granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 260 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 120 milliliters whole milk, room temperature
• 150 grams blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake batter.

Step 7

Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter using a spatula, ensuring even distribution.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
