Blueberry Pudding Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk (plant-based milk for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened (or vegan butter alternative)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients and Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Gather all ingredients measured and ready to go for a smooth workflow.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning in your cake.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and milk with vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a moist base that balances the cake’s texture.
- Fold Wet into Dry: Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to preserve cake tenderness.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly with care to prevent breaking the fruit and turning the batter purple.
- Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the greased dish and bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter mix more evenly and result in a tender cake.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Fresh blueberries are best as they hold shape better and add a natural burst of flavor.
- Grease your pan well to prevent sticking and ensure clean cake removal.
- Check doneness carefully by using a toothpick inserted near the center so you don’t under or overbake.
