Ingredients
Vanilla Cake
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
Blueberry Compote
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp water
Whipped Cream
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Alternately add the干料 and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry. Divide batter between prepared pans.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks.
For the compote, in a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened and blueberries burst. Cool completely.
For whipped cream, beat cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to assemble.
To assemble, place one cake layer on a plate. Spread half the compote over the top. Add the second layer and spread the remaining compote. Gently spread whipped cream over the compote for a domed effect. Garnish with extra blueberries if desired.
Notes
Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal texture.
Chill the cake assembles for 1 hour to set before serving.
Substitute fresh blueberries with frozen (unthawed) if available. For a firmer whip, chill the mixing bowl and beaters beforehand.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
