Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh blueberries
  • Optional: zest of one lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar to the dry ingredients and mix gently.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup whole milk.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries and, if using, the zest of one lemon gently to keep blueberries intact.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top lightly.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, checking at 38 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. The cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh, firm blueberries for best results. If using frozen blueberries, keep them mostly frozen and toss in flour before folding in to prevent color bleeding. Do not overmix the batter to avoid toughness. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Room temperature eggs and milk improve mixing. Adjust baking time if using a different pan size. Optional lemon zest adds a fresh twist.
