Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x9-inch cake pan.

  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla together in another bowl. Add egg and beat well.

  4. Using a wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with the milk (ending with dry) just until flour is incorporated. Do not overbeat. Fold in blueberries. Turn into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Frozen blueberries make dough very stiff, so pressing with moistened fingertips works better for me. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of batter.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Can be doubled and baked in 9x13-inch pan for 55 to 60 minutes.
