Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup butter, softened but not melty at all
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh ripe blueberries (dry any surface moisture)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Generously grease and flour bottom and sides of a 9-inch Springform pan with removable sides. Tap out excess flour and set aside.
- In bowl of a stand mixer (or just a large bowl, if using electric hand mixer) combine the softened butter and sugar. Using paddle attachment, cream until light and fluffy, 2-3 min on medium high speed. Lower to medium speed and beat in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt) and gently whisk to combine well. Use a rubber spatula to fold dry ingredients into wet butter mixture, just until a few slight flour streaks remain; do not over mix batter.
- Sprinkle blueberries with a big pinch of flour, just to lightly coat. Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries into the batter, reserving 1/2 cup blueberries for later. Evenly spread batter into prepared Springform pan, ensuring even surface through the edges. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup blueberries evenly on top of batter. Place cake on a baking sheet and place in oven. Bake 65-70 min, or just until toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few tiny tender crumbs attached (start watching cake about 20 minutes beforehand, to make sure it’s not browning too quickly. Check often and loosely tent with foil if needed.)
- Let cake cool completely in pan. Once edges have cooled and pulled away from sides of pan, gently remove the sides. Serve with dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
