Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon flour, for tossing the blueberries

Directions

1. Prepare the Pan and Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan and set it aside.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light, fluffy, and pale in color.

3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

4. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Mix the Batter

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in the Blueberries

Toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold them into the batter. This helps keep the berries evenly distributed throughout the cake.

7. Bake

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Finish

Allow the cake to cool completely. Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
