Blueberries cake ~ It makes a delicious dense cake chock full of blueberries.

1 pint fresh or frozen blueberries

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

2. Rinse, drain, and dry the fresh blueberries. If you are using the frozen berries , no need to thaw.

3. Sift together the flour and baking powder.

4. In your mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until smooth. Add the eggs, one by one, then the vanilla.

5. Add 2 cups of the flour mixture to the batter.

6. Dredge the blueberries with the remaining flour. I use a large re-sealable plastic bag for this, tossing the berries in the flour.
7. Stir in the coated blueberries and remaining flour into the batter. Transfer the batter to the pan.

8. Bake the cake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean.
