  • Stunning presentation that impresses everyone.
  • Fresh blueberries add a burst of flavor.
  • Rich cream layers create a satisfying texture.
  • Simple to make with accessible ingredients.
  • Perfect for any gathering or celebration.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

How to Make Blueberry Cream Layer Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes cool, prepare the cream layer. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with fresh blueberries.
  10. Repeat with the second layer, then top with the final cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream, and decorate with additional blueberries.
  11. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your butter is softened for easy creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined for a light cake.
  • Chill the whipped cream before beating for better volume.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute half of the blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a mixed berry flavor.
  • Add lemon zest to the whipped cream for a refreshing citrus twist.
  • Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
  • Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
  • A drizzle of berry sauce or coulis for extra sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover Blueberry Cream Layer Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cake can also be frozen for up to a month; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
