Ingredients

• 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternatively add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve the cake on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
