Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberry jam (preferably homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or whole milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (optional, for extra blueberry flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberry jam and fresh blueberries (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Frost with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for an extra touch.
Notes
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute with whole milk or make your own by adding a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk.
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter.
