Alice's Simple Blueberry Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the ideal temperature for baking, 375 degrees F (or 190 degrees C).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with butter and dusting it evenly with flour, ensuring a smooth release of the cake once baked.
3
In a separate bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Sift these dry ingredients together until well combined.
4
Now, it's time to bring all the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and a dash of vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to this mixture, stirring until you achieve a semi-thick batter.
5
In another bowl, gently toss 2 teaspoons of flour with the blueberries, taking care not to bruise them. Fold this mixture into your batter until just combined.
6
Pour the cake batter into your prepared baking dish, making sure to fill it evenly.
7
Bake the cake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Once the cake has baked, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle a generous amount of sugar on top. Return the cake to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
