Blueberry Cake Recipe
Print Recipe

A tender, moist vanilla cake studded with juicy blueberries and a hint of lemon zest, topped with a golden crumb or sweet glaze. This versatile cake works equally well as a coffee cake, dessert, or special occasion treat, with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from seasonal berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus 1 tbsp for berries)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, unthawed)
  • Optional toppings:
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for crunch)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsp lemon juice (for glaze)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square pan.
  2. Whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3 mins).
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla and lemon zest.
  5. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour.
  6. Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour, then gently fold into batter.
  7. Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  8. Bake 45-55 minutes until golden and toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool 15 minutes before glazing or serving with whipped cream.

Notes

  • For even berry distribution, reserve 1/2 cup to press on top before baking
  • Frozen berries may tint batter slightly blue/purple
  • Test doneness at 45 minutes – overbaking dries out berries
  • Freezes well for up to 3 months (unglazed)
  • Swap 1/4 cup flour with almond flour for nutty variation
