Equipment

  • oven
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Medium bowl
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Offset spatula
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour for sprinkling the pan
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour for additional sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries rinsed, drained and dried
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
  • powdered sugar for dusting the top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter and flour a 9″ springform pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together 1 cup all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, mix together the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until light and creamy. Add in the eggs, one at a time. Add in the vanilla until incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the flour mixture just until mixed through. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. In a bowl, very gently combine the berries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour and the lemon juice, lemon zest, coriander and cinnamon; evenly spoon over the batter.
  • Place the springform pan onto a baking sheet (in case of any leakage) and place into the oven, center rack for 50-60 minutes. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 – 60 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully slide a thin knife around the edges of the cake to release it from the pan. Transfer the cake to a platter, berry-side up, and dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar. Enjoy!
