Blueberry Cake with Cream Cheese frosting

It is still May so it still means that I have every reason in the marriage book to comply to bake a cake to celebrate. Not that I need a reason to bake but it seems more special and meaningful to celebrate occasions with  a homemade cake :)

So here's to a short and loving 3 years of marriage filled with ups and downs, tears and laughter, rich and poor, big and small, sickness and health, successes and failures, hugs and kisses :)

Blueberry Cake with Cream Cheese frosting


Ingredients

150g flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
120g butter
100g caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
100g sour cream
3 tsp milk
110g fresh or frozen blueberries


How to make:
Preheat oven to 180c
Grease and dust an 18cm ring mould


Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl. Cream butter and sugar together til light and fluffy. Add vanilla and beat. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition.

Add the sifted flour and mix till well incorporated. Then pour in sour cream and milk in the mixture. Blend well. With a spatula, mix blueberries carefully as to not break them to pieces.



Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 mins. 
Mine took 20 mins.
Cake should spring to the touch and golden in color.


*This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled if you want a bigger cake. I only have a 18cm ring mould and it didn't even come up halfway through. If you want to make a round or square cake, I suggest inserting a small knife or chopsticks in the middle to check if the cake is done. There should be no cake sticking to you knife or chopsticks.


As for the cream cheese frosting, I just used leftovers from Mia's birthday cake. I put them in a bowl and freeze them. Thaw them nicely and whip it up again. Lovely ~ You may use your favourite cream cheese frosting because hey - everything tastes good with cream cheese, nothing can go wrong :)

If you're looking for that fudgy-dense pound-cake like dessert, stick this into the fridge and eat cold. This can also survive frozen. Not that I've had the chance to try.
