  2. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour until they are evenly coated to prevent sinking.
    2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. In a separate large bowl or stand mixer, beat the room temperature butter and granulated sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
    3/4 cup butter, 2 cups granulated sugar
  5. Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  6. Add the vegetable oil to the mixture and beat until well combined.
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream; mix in small amounts to avoid over-mixing.
    1 cup full-fat sour cream
  8. Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
  9. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 50-65 minutes; cover with foil for the last 20 minutes if browning too quickly.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then turn onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  11. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to desired consistency and drizzle over the cooled cake.
    1 cup powdered sugar, 3-5 teaspoons whole milk

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients (eggs, butter, sour cream) to ensure a smooth batter and better rise. To prevent the cake from sticking, allow it to cool in the pan for exactly 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a rack.
