Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for dusting)

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 for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 6

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

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 30-35 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 transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optional: Once the cake is cool, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
