Instructions
Making Blueberry Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting is straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
6. Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cakes: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 20 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fluffy and well combined.
9. Frost the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top, then add the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
10. Garnish: Decorate with additional fresh blueberries on top for a beautiful finish.
