Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.25 cups powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (should not be wet).

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top generously with powdered sugar before serving.
