Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

For the Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

  1. Pour the Batter: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
  2. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Vanilla Glaze

  1. Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Drizzle Over Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Cooking Notes

  • Prevent Blueberries from Sinking: Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking.
  • Use Greek Yogurt Instead of Sour Cream: For a slightly tangy, lighter option, swap sour cream for full-fat Greek yogurt.
  • For a Thicker Glaze: Reduce the milk slightly or add extra powdered sugar for a thicker drizzle.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with Coffee or Tea: This cake is perfect alongside a hot cup of coffee, cappuccino, or herbal tea.
  • Top with Fresh Berries: Serve with extra fresh blueberries and whipped cream for an elegant touch.
  • Add a Citrus Twist: Mix lemon zest into the batter for a bright, tangy flavor.

Tips

  1. Store Properly: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  2. Freeze for Later: Wrap slices in plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
  3. Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room-temperature butter, eggs, and sour cream for the best texture.
