Baking Tips
If you are a newbie in baking, please follow the baking tips below.
- Invest in baking essentials; a scale is a must when it comes to baking. Cup conversion is not precise.
- Follow the recipe, do not combine the steps or skip the steps.
- Always grease the pan you are using with butter.
- If the top of the cake becomes dark too fast, cover the top with a sheet of aluminum foil to avoid over browning. Just make sure the top of the egg is set before you cover it or the wet batter would stick to the aluminum foil.
- Once the cake is done, remove it immediately and cool on room temperature on a wire rack. Leaving the cake in the oven after baking will continue to bake the cake due to the remaining heat. As a result, the cake might be burned or become too dry and crusty.
- DO NOT remove the cake from the pan when it’s still hot. Once the cake cools down a bit, remove it from the cake pan and slice into pieces.
- You can store the cake at room temperature up to 2-3 days. Reheat the cake in a microwave for 10 seconds before serving, if you like your cake warm.

Recipe Notes
You may use frozen blueberries but it's best to use fresh blueberries.
When you say dredge the blueberries……are you supposed to add the rest of the flour into the batter…..or just the blueberry’s?
Just the blueberries.
If so, I was just wondering if I could switch in blackberries instead of blueberries? Is there anything “different” I should do. I’m not fond of blueberries but absolutely crave blackberries!
Yes you can.
Can I replace the blueberries with dried cranberries instead? Must I soak the dried cranberries before baking and for how long? Thanks.
You can. I don’t think you need to soak.
Thank you so much for the newbie tips.
Recipe was perfect and I shared with family who all raved about it. The directions were clear and the duration for baking resulted in a cake that was delicious.
Thank you!
Thanks.
Hi ,i wanna make this but all i have now is cake flour,is it possible to use cake flour instead of all purpose flour?
I think cake flour is fine.
Hi, I made this cake as had blueberries. It was very easy to follow recipe. Cake was delicious.
Just wanted to ask if I were to reduce sugar, what is the minimum I can reduce. The cake was too sweet for us.
Thank you.
You can reduce by 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup.
What’s the measurement for 1 cup butter, 1 cup four to grams?
I had tried this recipe twice (both times following strictly the ingredients as well as the instructions).
Both times, the blueberries sink to the bottom of the cake.
Other than that, cake tasted great.
Please advise what can be done to prevent the berries from sinking.
Did you dust the blueberries with some flour?
