Tips & Tricks (5)

Blueberry Suspension Trick 🫐
Toss fresh blueberries in a light coating of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking and ensure even distribution throughout the cake.
Streusel Texture Perfection 🥄
Use cold butter and pinch the streusel ingredients together with your fingertips to create those coveted large, crumbly chunks that provide the ultimate crunchy topping.
Moisture Magic Buttermilk 🥛
Bring buttermilk to room temperature before mixing to ensure a more uniform batter and softer, more tender crumb in your final cake.
Anti-Sink Baking Technique 🍰
Layer half the batter, sprinkle a portion of blueberries, then add remaining batter and top with remaining berries to prevent fruit from completely sinking to the bottom.
Cool Cutting Hack 🔪
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting to ensure clean slices and prevent crumbling.
