The soft and moist cake is loaded with juicy blueberries, and the filling adds an extra burst of flavor. It's perfect for dessert or as a sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts (if using).
  8. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  9. Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the filling, covering it completely.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
