Equipment

1 Mixing bowl
1 baking pan

Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose flour: Provides the structure for the cake.
1 ½ cups Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness to the cake
1 tsp Baking powder: Helps the cake rise.
½ tsp Baking soda: Another leavening agent that helps the cake rise.
½ tsp Salt: Enhances the flavor of the cake.
½ cup Unsalted butter, softened: Adds richness and moisture to the cake.
1 cup Buttermilk: Keeps the cake moist and tender.
2 large Eggs: Bind the ingredients together and add moisture.
1 tsp Vanilla extract: Adds a subtle flavor to the cake.
2 cups Fresh blueberries: The star ingredient that brings a burst of flavor to the cake.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition. This will ensure a well-incorporated batter.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Be careful not to overmix, as this can break the blueberries and turn the batter purple.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Baking the Perfect Blueberry Cake

Baking a perfect blueberry cake requires a few tips and tricks to ensure a delicious and visually appealing result. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Use fresh blueberries: Fresh, plump blueberries will provide the best flavor and texture to your cake.
Coat blueberries in flour: Tossing the blueberries in a little flour before adding them to the batter will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
Avoid overmixing: Overmixing can lead to a tough cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to achieve a tender texture.
Don't open the oven door too early: Opening the oven door too early can cause the cake to sink. Wait until the cake is almost fully baked before checking for doneness.
Let the cake cool completely: Allowing the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving will prevent the frosting from melting and ensure a better texture.
