Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup blueberry jam or preserves
  • Fresh blueberries for garnish
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Alternate the addition of the dry mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cooling for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  6. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Fold in the vanilla extract and blueberry jam.
  7. Spread a layer of cream filling on top of the first cake layer. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining filling. Garnish with fresh blueberries and powdered sugar if desired.
  8. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Use fresh berries for best results. For a zesty twist, add lemon zest to the cream filling. You can also freeze cake layers in advance.
