A moist blueberry sugar cake with a tender crumb, perfect for breakfast or dessert, combining sweet blueberries and vanilla flavor for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in floured blueberries.
- Pour the batter into a 13 x 9-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the flour and baking powder together before mixing. If fresh blueberries aren't available, you can substitute with frozen blueberries, but it's best to add them directly to the batter without thawing to prevent excess moisture. You can also try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. This recipe is similar to American recipes that feature fruit, like Cream Corn Bread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful sugar cake warm or at room temperature, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy dessert. For a fun twist, consider serving with a side of Dip For Bread And Veggies for an unexpected flavor contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place slices in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in an oven preheated to 350°F for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of blueberries?
Yes, you can substitute blueberries with other fruits such as raspberries, chopped strawberries, or even diced peaches. Just ensure the fruit is well-floured to prevent sinking in the batter. Each fruit will give a unique twist to the flavor of the cake!
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when it turns golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you see any batter on the toothpick, continue baking for a few more minutes, checking frequently to avoid overbaking.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free. The texture might slightly differ, but it should still turn out delicious!
