Blueberry breakfast cake is a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of blueberries with a moist and tender cake. Here’s a recipe to make a delicious blueberry breakfast cake:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 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 milk
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a 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 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until well combined. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour until coated. This helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
- Gently fold the floured blueberries into the cake batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the cake 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 breakfast cake as a delicious treat for breakfast or brunch.
This blueberry breakfast cake is best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy the burst of flavor from the juicy blueberries in every bite!
