Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (122.5 g) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blueberries

  • 2 cups (296 g) fresh or frozen blueberries, lightly tossed in 1 to 2 tablespoons flour to prevent sinking (optional)

Glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, on low speed, mix in the buttermilk, canola oil, and vanilla until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds, until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter. If the edges brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last ten minutes of baking.
  • Let the cake cool slightly in the pan while you make the glaze.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 4 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Drizzle glaze over the warm cake. Serve warm or at room temperature.
