Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
2 cups (sifted)
baking powder
2 teaspoons
salt
1 teaspoon
vegetable oil (preferably canola)
2/3 cup
sugar
1 cup
large eggs
2 (at room temperature)
milk
1 cup
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups (lightly coated with flour)
powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups (sifted)
heavy cream
1/2 cup
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 10-inch tube pan, lightly flouring the interior to prevent sticking.
2
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegetable oil, sugar, and room temperature eggs together with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light and thick.
4
Gradually add the dry flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well after each addition until the batter is smoothly combined.
5
Gently fold in the blueberries that have been lightly coated with flour, being careful not to smash them.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread it evenly.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 1 hour. Then carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9
To prepare the vanilla glaze, combine the sifted powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in the top of a double boiler placed over barely simmering water. Stir for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
10
Transfer the glaze to a glass measuring cup and cover to keep warm until the cake has cooled completely.
11
Once the cake is fully cooled, generously drizzle the silky vanilla glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
12
Let the glaze set for 1 hour before slicing and serving the cake to ensure the perfect texture and presentation.
