Ingredients 

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the Topping:

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugars until fluffy (2 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating after each.
  • Alternate adding flour mixture and milk in this order: ⅓ flour, ½ milk, ⅓ flour, remaining milk, remaining flour. Mix well after each addition.
  • Toss berries with 1 teaspoon flour, fold into batter. Spread in pan.
  • Scatter blueberries on top. Mix cinnamon and sugar, sprinkle over batter. Bake 45-50 minutes until toothpick comes clean.
  • Let cool 20 minutes in pan. Turn out onto serving platter (topping up).
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Stores 3 days at room temp or 6 days refrigerated.

Notes

  • This recipe is typically baked in a 9x13-inch pan, which allows the cake to cook evenly and gives it a nice thickness. You can also use two 8x8-inch pans if you want to split it into smaller portions.
  • A subtle cinnamon-sugar topping adds warmth without overpowering the blueberries.
  • Adjust the sugar to suit your taste—ideal for those who prefer desserts that aren’t overly sweet.
  • This cake travels well and makes a thoughtful homemade gift for friends or neighbors.
