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

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing 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 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.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them apart too much.
6. 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.
7. Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar 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, then add the second cake layer.
10. 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.
