Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the cake mix, eggs, and sour cream until well combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries into the batter.

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, you can replace half of the sour cream with Greek yogurt. If fresh blueberries aren’t available, you can use frozen ones; just make sure to fold them in gently to prevent color bleeding. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor. To make this cake even more indulgent, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of the Blueberry Ring Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence. It pairs beautifully with Honey Milk Balls for a delightful dessert spread. Consider accompanying it with a refreshing fruit salad or a cup of tea for a lovely afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Blueberry Ring Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold, as the flavors develop beautifully over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of cake mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of cake mix, such as lemon or vanilla, for a unique twist. Just keep in mind that the flavor of the cake will change accordingly, and you might want to adjust the amount of sugar if the mix is sweeter.
What can I do if the cake sinks in the middle?
If your cake sinks in the middle, it might be due to overmixing or not baking it long enough. Ensure you mix just until combined and check for doneness with a toothpick. If it still sinks, consider reducing the oven temperature slightly to allow for more even baking next time.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the sour cream with a dairy-free yogurt or a non-dairy option like coconut cream. Make sure your cake mix is also dairy-free to keep the entire recipe aligned with your dietary needs.
