Ingredients
- For the Cake:
- - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- - 2 teaspoons baking powder
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- - 2 cups granulated sugar
- - 4 large eggs
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- - 1 cup whole milk
- - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- For the Blueberry Glaze:
- - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- - 1/4 cup water
- - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it and dusting it with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl the cream cheese into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the blueberry glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, water, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the cake has cooled, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Pour the blueberry glaze over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides of the cake.
- Slice and serve the Blue Suede Cake, and enjoy every delicious bite!
