Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake 🫐🍰✨


 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Alternate Wet and Dry Ingredients

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 5: Fold in Blueberries

  1. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
  2. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.

Step 6: Assemble and Bake

  1. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of sugar for a crunchy, sweet crust (optional).
  3. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

  1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
