Notes
- Blueberries: Be sure to wash them and then pick them over so that you don't have any smooshy or rotten blueberries in your cake.
- Flour: Be sure to properly measure the flour. To properly measure the flour, sift or stir it to break it up. Lightly spoon into the measuring cup and then level off.
- Butter: I use salted butter. Feel free to use unsalted if you prefer.
- Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute with this recipe.
- Room temperature: Be sure to have you butter, egg, and buttermilk at room temperature. This will help the ingredients to combine fully.
