Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 teaspoon butter or as needed
  • - 12 ounces fresh blueberries
  • - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • - 1 cup white sugar
  • - 2 large eggs
  • - 1 cup sour cream
  • - ½ cup vegetable oil
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - ¼ teaspoon salt
  • - 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • - 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • - ½ tablespoon lemon zest
  • - 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar or as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter and lightly flour the sides of a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Place blueberries in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon flour and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat sugar and eggs using an electric mixer on high speed until thickened and light in color, about 5 minutes. Mix in sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt on low speed until just combined. Add 2 cups flour and baking powder and mix until combined. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Spread half of the blueberry mixture over the batter. Pour in the remaining cake batter and spread the remaining blueberries on top, pushing them halfway into the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove the outer ring from the springform pan and let the cake cool completely. Dust the top of the cooked cake with confectioners' sugar using a small sifter.

Notes

- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before removing it from the pan to prevent it from falling apart.
- Serve slices of cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days.
