Irresistible Blueberry Cinnamon Cake

Ingredients

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F and allow it to preheat. This ensures that your cake bakes evenly.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup softened butter. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Egg and Vanilla
Add in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure a tender cake.

7. Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries using a spatula. Ensure the berries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. Pour and Smooth the Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.

9. Bake the Cake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Cool the Cake
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
