Classic Blueberry Sour Cream Pound Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup full-fat sour cream

• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

• 3 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen—do not thaw if frozen)

Directions

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Generously grease and flour a Bundt or tube pan.

2. Dry Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).

4. Add Eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.

5. Alternate Wet & Dry: Add the flour mixture and sour cream in thirds, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined—do not overbeat.

6. Fold in Blueberries: Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold into batter.

7. Bake: Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Optional: Cover loosely with foil in the last 15 minutes if browning too quickly.

8. Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy! Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
