Classic Blueberry Sour Cream Pound Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to coat berries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
  6. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking. Gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze if desired. Slice and enjoy!
