Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (109 g) vegetable oil
  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (thawed), divided

Topping

  • ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper, including up the sides, and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • To a small bowl, add eggs and oil. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the eggs and oil mixture to the flour mixture, mixing until combined.
  • Set aside ½ cup of blueberries. Fold the rest of the blueberries into the batter until coated.
  • Pour the batter into the lined pan and top with the reserved ½ cup of blueberries. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Topping

  • In the last few minutes of baking, heat the milk, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter and sugar have fully dissolved.
  • Take the cake out of the oven. Insert a skewer into the top, making between 25-30 spaced holes all the way to the bottom.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the baked cake, making sure it fills the holes and covers the top.
  • Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the milk mixture to absorb into the cake.
  • Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar before serving. Enjoy!
