Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.

Step 7

Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 11

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
