Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Pan
Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter or spray.
Lightly dust with flour.
Make sure every corner is coated.
This prevents sticking and helps the cake release cleanly.
Step 2 – Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Set aside.
Step 3 – Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
This step is important.
Creaming adds air and creates a soft texture.
Beat for 3–4 minutes.
Step 4 – Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time.
Mix well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract.
The batter should look smooth and creamy.
Step 5 – Combine Wet and Dry
Add dry ingredients gradually.
Alternate with sour cream and milk.
Mix gently.
Do not overmix.
Overmixing makes cake dense.
Step 6 – Add Blueberries
Toss blueberries with flour.
This prevents sinking.
Fold them gently into the batter.
Spread evenly.
Step 7 – Bake
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Smooth the top.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes.
Insert a toothpick.
If it comes out clean, it’s ready.
Your kitchen will smell amazing.
Step 8 – Cool and Release
Cool in pan for 15 minutes.
Invert onto a rack.
Let cool completely before slicing.
This helps the cake hold shape.
