Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 Eggs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and presentation.

Step 11

Slice into wedges or squares and enjoy Grandpa Long’s scrumptious blueberry cake with loved ones!
