Blueberry Cake
Report
Blueberry Cake is a great way to use up summer berries! This cake is soft, moist, and dense (without being at all dry!) and reminds me of a big fluffy blueberry muffin! Top everything off with a simple lemon glaze and enjoy!

Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ cups blueberries fresh or frozen
Lemon Glaze
- 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoon water
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease and flour a 9" springform pan.
- Using an electric mixer (a stand mixer or hand mixer will work) cream together butter and cream cheese in a large bowl.
- Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt.
- Grab your buttermilk and gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the batter, stirring until all of the flour mixture and buttermilk have been combined.
- Use a spatula to gently fold in blueberries until combined.
- Evenly spread batter into prepared springform pan and bake on 350F (175C) for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean or with few crumbs (no wet batter).
- Allow to cool before topping with lemon glaze.
Lemon Glaze
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Use a spoon to drizzle over cooled cake. Allow glaze to set (about 10-15 minutes) before slicing and enjoying.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, try my buttermilk substitute.
