Ingredients

  • 90 g unsalted butter softened
  • 50 g powdered sugar adjust sweetness to taste
  • 50 g cream cheese softened
  • 2 room-temperature eggs
  • 2 g baking powder
  • 130 g cake flour
  • 50 –100g fresh blueberries as preferred

Instructions

Soften Ingredients

  • Cut the butter into small pieces and let it soften at room temperature until it's soft enough to leave a dent when pressed lightly. Allow the cream cheese to soften as well.

Cream Butter and Cream Cheese

  • Place the softened butter and powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on low speed, blend until the sugar is fully incorporated.
  • Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until the butter becomes light and fluffy, doubling in volume.
  • Add the softened cream cheese and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.

Add Eggs

  • Add eggs in two batches to the creamed mixture. Mix on low speed after each addition until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent separation.

Sift in Dry Ingredients

  • Combine the cake flour and baking powder, then sift the mixture into the wet ingredients.
  • Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter with a cutting and folding motion. Mix until smooth and glossy, ensuring no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.

Add Blueberries

  • Wash the blueberries, pat them dry with paper towels, and gently fold them into the batter.

Prepare the Mold

  • Line the cake mold with parchment paper or foil for easy removal. Pour the batter into the mold and level the surface with a spatula.

Bake the Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Place the cake mold in the middle rack and bake for about 45 minutes.
  • If the cake browns too quickly on top, cover it with foil to prevent burning. Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean when inserted into the center.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes. Take the cake out of the mold and cool completely before slicing.
