Ingredients
Cake Batter
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (if frozen, fully thawed)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating berries)
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3–5 teaspoons whole milk (add gradually for desired consistency)
Instructions
Make the Cake
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously coat a 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Place the blueberries in a small bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon flour. Toss until lightly coated — this keeps them suspended in the batter instead of sinking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together for about 4–5 minutes until pale and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour in the vegetable oil and mix until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and sour cream alternately, a little at a time, mixing gently after each addition to maintain a tender texture.
- Carefully fold the floured blueberries into the batter using a spatula to avoid crushing them.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface evenly.
- Bake for 50–65 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. If it emerges clean, your cake is ready. If the top darkens too quickly, loosely tent it with foil during the final 10 minutes.
- Let the cake rest in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with milk, adding a little at a time.
- Stir until smooth and pourable. Add more milk for a thinner drizzle or less for a thicker finish.
- Once the cake is fully cooled, spoon or drizzle the glaze over the top.
Notes
💡 Test for doneness: Slide a butter knife into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is perfectly baked.
💡 Prevent over-browning: Loosely cover the cake with foil for the last 15–20 minutes if the top begins to deepen too quickly in color.
