Got some bland blueberries? Use them to bake cakes! With the basic materials I had at home, stirred everything in a large bowl then bake. It is very delicious when it is hot!
One day, there was a special sale on blueberries in the supermarket. They were big and only €2.2 was sold for 500 grams. However, they were bland and not enjoyable to eat as a fruit. So I used them to bake this cake.
Many recipes call for frozen blueberries to make cakes. It is said that frozen blueberries contain more water, but they will not break open when baked, making the cake too wet. As a non-professional baker, my primary purpose is to “enjoy delicious” blueberries, so I didn’t care whether it was frozen or not, whether it would make the cake look bad, anyway, I just wanted to get rid of the box of blueberries.
In fact, I think the cake baked with fresh blueberries is not bad!

Some Changes：
- 60 g sugar to 70 g: Oops! I poured the sugar too quickly. To me, 70 g of sugar was fine. Reduce sugar if you desire.
- Muffin cup changed to round cake mould（0.5 L). Baking time was longer than the video suggested.
Ingredients
- 100 g fresh blueberries
- 100 g cake flour
- 4 g (1 tsp) baking powder

How To Make Blueberry Cake with Simple Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly milky.
- Add the sugar and stir until the sugar melts (you can’t hear the sugar rubbing against the bottom of the bowl while stirring), pour in the milk and mix well.
- Sift flour and baking powder into step 2 and mix gently.
- Pour in the melted butter and mix well, pour the batter into the cake mold (grease with oil first if necessary), put blueberries on top.
- Bake in a preheated 180ºC oven for 30-40 minutes.
Cooking Note
Baking temperature：I first baked it at 180ºC for 30 minutes, inserted chopsticks to test the doneness, because it was not cooked, but the surface had begun to turn too golden, so I lowered the temperature to 160 degrees, and baked for another 10 minutes.
