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
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 3 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 (tossed with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla and almond extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with flour mixture.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries (coated in flour).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light lemon glaze before serving.
