How to Make Blueberry Butter Brunch Cake

PIN IT

Step 1: Prep Your Oven & Pan

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour your cake pan.

Step 2: Whisk Eggs & Sugar

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and slightly fluffy. This step gives the cake its light texture—don’t rush it!

Step 3: Add Butter & Wet Ingredients

Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5: Combine Batter

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—no overmixing here!

Step 6: Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries. You’ll start to see those beautiful pops of color throughout the batter.

Step 7: Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 8: Cool & Enjoy

Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. The aroma alone will have everyone hovering in the kitchen!
