Description
A delicious blueberry sheet cake that is light and fluffy, perfect for gatherings and desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Cut the cake into squares and serve on a simple white plate, garnished with additional fresh blueberries for a beautiful presentation.
- This blueberry sheet cake is perfect for gatherings, picnics, or as a delightful dessert to enjoy at home.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra flavor, consider adding lemon zest to the batter.
- This cake can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
