Blueberry Cake recipe.
Blueberry Cake1 cup +1 teaspoon all purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1 stick unsalted butter1 cup sugar1/4 teaspoon vanilla2 large eggs2 cups blueberries (may use frozen) or mixraspberries and blueberries.1 teaspoon lemon juice (I omitted this)confectioners sugarPreheat oven to 350.You can use a spring form pan or a 9 inch round cake pan greased and floured.I used a bunte pan and bakers secret.Cream butter and sugar and vanilla until fluffy.Add eggs one at a time,beat well.Reduce mixerand slowly add flour and dry ingredients. Batter will be thick!!! Beat untill smooth. With aspoon stir in berries.Gently pour into cake pan.I had to scrape and pack mine into pan LOLBake for 1 hour.This is what the recipe says. I tested mine at 45 minutes and it was done.Cool about 10 minutes in the pan. Then turn onto cake plate and sprinkle with confectionerssugar. I doubled the recipe for this cake. It wasn't big enough for our blueberry eating crowd.
