  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2¾ all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Put another ⅓ of cake batter on top of that and again, sprinkle with ⅓ cup of blueberries, finish by putting remaining cake batter on top and sprinkle with remaining blueberries. Using a butter knife or spoon, push blueberries down into the cake batter a little bit.
  8. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick comes out of center clean.
  9. Let cake cool completely ( I like to do this by putting it (still in the pan) into the freezer for 1 hour, it helps lock in the moisture. You can cool it on a cooling rack if you prefer. When cake is completely cooled run a butter knife around the edges and gentely shake cake back and forth to loosen it before inverting it onto a cake stand or plate for frosting.
