Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for the cream)
How to Make Blueberry Cream Layer Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them apart too much.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top, then add the second cake layer.
- Top the second layer with more whipped cream and decorate with additional fresh blueberries.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
- Avoid over-mixing the batter once you add the flour to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen blueberries can be used, but they may make the batter a bit wetter.
Easy Variations
- Substitute raspberries or strawberries for blueberries for a different fruit flavor.
- Add a splash of lemon juice or lemon zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.
- Incorporate a layer of lemon curd between the cake layers for added tanginess.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the cake’s flavors.
- A drizzle of berry sauce for an extra burst of fruitiness.
- Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
