Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1 cups Brown sugar
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for sauce)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for sauce)
• 1 pinch Salt (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 5

Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake is baking, prepare the brown sugar sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Set the sauce aside to cool slightly.

Step 11

Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife along the edges and carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice the cake and serve it with a generous drizzle of warm brown sugar sauce. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh blueberries or a dollop of whipped cream.
