Ingredients

Wondering how to get the best flavor from blueberries? Use fresh, firm berries if possible, but frozen ones work just as well without thawing.

For 2 people, simply halve all ingredients. For more than 4 people, double everything while keeping the same method.

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Thinking about how to start without feeling overwhelmed? Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a medium baking pan. In one bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Keep it simple and set aside while you prepare the wet mixture.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Not sure how the batter should look? In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until soft and slightly fluffy. Add eggs one by one, then mix in vanilla. The mixture should look smooth and creamy without any lumps.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Worried about getting the texture right? Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in the blueberries carefully so they stay whole and spread evenly through the batter.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Unsure when the cake is ready? Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30–35 minutes. The top should turn lightly golden and a toothpick should come out clean. For smaller portions, baking time may be slightly shorter.

Why This Recipe Works for Busy Days

Need something you can bake without planning too much ahead? This cake comes together quickly with pantry basics and doesn’t need complicated steps. You can mix everything in one go and let the oven do the rest. It also stores well, so you can bake once and enjoy for a couple of days without extra effort.
