- 1 electric mixer
- 1 mixing bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to ensure easy removal after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and cottage cheese until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bake comes out clean.
- Allow the bake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the bake into 8 servings and enjoy warm. Serve with honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in the microwave before serving.
