Simple Blueberry Cake With No Frosting
A blueberry cake with absolutely no frosting? I say yay! It is so fruity and just as delicious in all its plain Jane glory. The only thing I used to garnish this is icing sugar. If you love blueberry muffins and always craving them 24/7 as much as I do, this is going to be your jam. This sweet cake has a slightly shortbread texture on top, but it is so moist and soft in the center. Easter is just around the corner so this is really a dessert that is giving what it needs to give.
Blueberries are a powerhouse of a fruit. They are known to maintain physical, and even mental health. In addition, they can help protect against cancer, heart disease and obesity. So not only is it great to munch on, but it gives great health perks to your food.
To start, rinse off the blueberries. Then pat them dry before tossing them in flour. Coating the fruit in flour prevents them from sinking completely to the bottom of the cake. So what you end up getting is blueberries in every single bite because they are evenly spread out throughout the cake. This is a single layer blueberry cake so you will need just one 9-inch cake pan. The best part is that I did this without using my hand mixer and only used a large hand whisk. No kidding-it’s that easy! I highly recommend serving this with either whipped cream, or ice cream. My homemade coconut choc chip ice cream or maple cherry ice creamwould really work here!
If you’re feeling inspired by blueberries today, have a look at my blueberry cardamom pancakes which are so fancy that they are topped with a lime glaze.

Can I use frozen, defrosted blueberries instead? Any changes if I do?
