  • 1 cup butter, softened Adds richness and moisture.
  • 1 cup buttermilk Regular milk with a splash of vinegar can be used as a substitute.
  • 3 large eggs Helps bind the cake together.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Fresh blueberries create pockets of sweetness.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.

Baking

  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting and Assembly

  • For the frosting, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and the extra vanilla extract.
  • Spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, add the second layer, and frost the top and sides.
  • Enjoy your delicious blueberry velvet cake!

Notes

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Consider adding a swirl of blueberry compote between layers for extra flavor.
