Ingredients

Units Scale

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk

For the filling:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the whipped cream:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Mix in sour cream, then add flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour.
  3. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the berries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Let cool.
  5. For the whipped cream, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  6. To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the whipped cream over the top and spoon over half of the blueberry filling. Top with the second cake layer and repeat with remaining whipped cream and blueberries. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best results.

Notes

  • Use a serrated knife to level cake layers if needed.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and eaten the same day.
