Cook techniques
Mixing Dry Ingredients
When combining flour, baking powder, and salt, use a whisk to ensure even distribution and to prevent lumps. This preparation helps create a uniform batter.
Creaming Butter and Sugar
Beat softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter cake texture.
Folding in Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula to avoid smashing them. This technique helps maintain the integrity of the berries, ensuring they remain whole in the batter.
Baking Time
Always check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is ready to be taken out of the oven.
FAQ
