Ingredients
Serves 16- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 6 large eggs, (at room temperature)
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, (softened at room temperature)
- 1 ½ tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) salted butter, (softened at room temperature)
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups bleached cake flour (such as Swans Down brand), (divided)
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- Optional, for dusting: powdered sugar
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Grease and lightly flour a tube pan or Bundt pan; set aside. Do not preheat the oven. In a medium bowl, toss together the blueberries with ¼ cup of the flour. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, use the paddle attachment on an electric stand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cream cheese; beat until smooth, about 30 seconds. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl periodically. Gradually add remaining 2 ¾ cups of the flour, mixing on low speed after each addition, and scraping the bowl as needed. Mix just until combined, about 1 minute total. Add the salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract; beat until smooth. Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries and any extra flour from the bowl.
- Step 3
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Tap it a couple of times on the counter to release any big air bubbles.
- Step 4
Place the pan on a rack in the lower third of the cold oven. Shut the oven, and turn the temperature to 300°F. Bake the cake until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 50 minutes – 2 hours. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert on a serving plate or wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 5
Once cool, dust powdered sugar on top of the cake.
