Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and sour cream until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to the batter. Divide the batter evenly between two greased 9-inch cake pans.
- Bake the cake layers in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread the cooled cheesecake layer on top, and then place the second cake layer on top.
- Frost the assembled cake with your preferred cream cheese frosting, smoothing it out with an offset spatula.
- Top with fresh blueberries and drizzle with blueberry sauce if desired for decoration.
- Chill the cake for at least an hour before slicing to allow the layers to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
