Classic Blueberry Sour Cream Pound Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1 tbsp flour (for coating the blueberries)

Optional glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
  2. Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined — do not overmix.
  7. In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (this helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake).
  8. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  9. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. (Optional) Make glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk/lemon juice, and vanilla. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Enjoy this moist, flavorful pound cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
