Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will help create a tender cake texture.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, beating well after each addition for thorough blending and improved texture.
- Add Yogurt and Vanilla: Mix in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which could toughen the cake.
- Prepare Blueberries: Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking. Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter.
- Fill Bundt Pan: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made from lemon juice and powdered sugar.
- The cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- This cake is excellent served warm or toasted with butter for added indulgence.
