Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

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 milk

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

{{WPRM_GROUP_PREPARATION}}

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

{{WPRM_GROUP_SERVING}}

  • Once the cake has cooled completely, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with additional fresh blueberries if desired.
  • Slice the cake and serve slightly chilled. Enjoy the combination of moist cake and creamy frosting with every bite.

{{WPRM_GROUP_STORAGE}}

  • Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results, allow slices to come to room temperature before serving.
