Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar if desired.
- Slice and serve the blueberry buttermilk breakfast cake. Enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries. You can also substitute frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the batter.
- Dusting the cake with powdered sugar is optional but adds a sweet finishing touch.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
