Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Alternatively, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in 1 3/4 cups of the blueberries, reserving 1/4 cup to scatter on top of the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Top with the remaining blueberries, pressing them slightly into the batter.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top will be golden brown.

Step 9

Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with confectioners’ sugar before serving, if desired.
