Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Blueberry Layer Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans with butter or cooking spray, lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the vegetable oil.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then add the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry flour mixture and buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, then distribute the batter among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the filling, cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice until bubbling. Thicken with cornstarch mixed with water.
- For the frosting, beat the butter, then mix in cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and blueberry puree.
- Assemble the cake by layering with blueberry jam and frosting, smoothing over the entire cake before decorating.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
