One-Bowl Sweet Blueberry Cake
One-Bowl Sweet Blueberry Cake is a quick and easy dessert. There are several things I love about this cake. First of all, I can mix this whole cake up in one bowl. That means, there’s only one bowl to wash. And, this was especially important to me, because I baked this up in a vacation house. Unfortunately, this vacation house had very little in the way of baking supplies. So, to make this cake I had to buy my own bowl and pan. Secondly, this cake can be mixed up using just a wooden spoon and a whisk. That means, you don’t need an electric mixer to make this cake. Lastly, this cake is really delicious and really highlights summer blueberries.
The Equipment I Used
- Measuring Cups and Spoons- Usually I swear by my kitchen scale, but since I left mine at home, I just used measuring cups.
- A Cake Pan- Use a Nine inch Cake pan for this cake.
- A Cooling Rack- You’ll need a cooling rack to properly cool your cake.
- Parchment Paper- Use this to easily remove your cake from the pan.
- A Mixing Bowl- I bought a metal mixing bowl to mix up my cake, but you can use any big bowl.
- A Sifter or Whisk- Use either of these to mix together your dry ingredients.
The Ingredients Needed for One-Bowl Sweet Blueberry Cake
- Blueberries- These are the star of your cake, so buy the best fresh berries that you can find. Wash and dry your berries well. Remove any stems.
- Buttermilk- Usually I prefer whole milk buttermilk, but the Mississippi Whole Foods only had low-fat buttermilk so that’s what I used.
- Vanilla Extract- This is optional. The cake will still be delicious without it.
- Flour- Use all purpose flour. I like the King Arthur brand.
- Butter- Be sure and use unsalted butter, and make sure it’s very soft.
How I Made my Cake
- First, I creamed my butter and sugar. I made sure my butter was very soft first. And, I added the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Next, I added the dry ingredients. I made sure to sift them before adding them.
- Then, I baked the cake for twenty five minutes.
- Next, I added the cinnamon, sugar, and the rest of the berries and baked it some more.
- Finally, I let the cake cool before I served it.
