Scale
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or bundt pan.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream and milk until smooth.
-
Assemble the Batter:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix to prevent the berries from breaking apart.
-
Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
- If you prefer a denser cake, use all fresh blueberries. For a slightly moister texture, frozen blueberries work well too.
- Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
