Vanilla Blueberry Layered Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

July 13, 2018 · Leave a Comment

If you’ve been a longtime reader and client of Dreamery, than you know how much I love a good seasonal berry. Which is to no surprise there are plenty of ways to bake up these sweet and tangy summer blueberries. And this time I made something other than a pie, I know shocking! But this fresh blueberry vanilla layered cake, a birthday favorite from last year, was kindly being asked to be celebrated with again and the timing was perfect. The farmer’s markets are brimming with berries right now!

Summer cakes should be effortless, highlight the season’s flavors and of course withstand the heat. I took this delicious and fluffy lemon blueberry cake recipe, omitting the lemon to truly highlight the blueberry’s flavor. 

Each cake layered filled with smashed fresh blueberries lightly sweetened with honey and topped with good ole cream cheese frosting. A light whisp of cream frosting on the outside of the assembled layers just to seal all that freshness inside, and because it’s summer no one wants to be eating so much dairy and sugar. At least I don’t…

But do give me all the fresh yummy blueberries please!

And because it’s summer and that bit of laziness almost always, and well deservingly, kicks in, simply accent that pretty mound of blueberries with fresh mint or whatever other herb you may have growing. 

Sweet and simple, and beautiful enough to eat!  This blueberry cake is a must to add onto your entertaining and party menus this summer!!

Happy summer, entertaining, chilling and savoring!

Fresh Blueberry Vanilla Cake

Ingredients
  1. 2 cups plus 6 tablespoons – All Purpose Flour
  2. 2 teaspoons – Baking Powder
  3. 1 teaspoon – Salt
  4. 3 cups – Fresh Blueberry {or any berry of your choice}
  5. 1/2 cup – Greek Yogurt
  6. 1/2 cup – Milk
  7. 2 teaspoons – Vanilla Extract
  8. 1 teaspoon – Vanilla Extract
  9. 1 cup {2 sticks} – Unsalted Butter {room temperature}
  10. 1 1/2 cups – Organic Cane Sugar
  11. 4 large–  Eggs
  12. 2 cups - Mashed Blueberries, lightly drizzled with honey
  13. Fresh Blueberries, for layers and to top cake
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350* F. Butter two 9" round cake pans, and line the bottom with parchment paper, and sprinkle with flour to cover completely. Tap out excess flour.
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy {about 3 to 5 minutes}.
  4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing really well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the dry ingredients into your bowl and mix just until incorporated. While the mixer is on low, slowly add in the yogurt. Mix on low for a minute, scrape down sides of bowl then increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth, 3 minutes more.
  6. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake rotating halfway, until the top springs back lightly to touch, and toothpick or skewer comes out clean from cake {about 30 minutes}. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run your knife to loosen the cake, and invert from pan onto rack to cool completely. Let cool completely before assembling.
  7. With a long serrated knife, slice the tops of both cake layers, to create a level top. Slice each cake layer in half, so you will end up with four layers. {You can simply just make this a two layer cake. If so, then half both the blueberries and cream cheese frosting recipe}
  8. Spoon a thin layer of the mashed blueberries, then spoon about 1/2 cup of the cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with fresh blueberries. Repeat until placing the top cake layer atop, with the bottom facing up. Top with remaining cream cheese frosting, along with the sides, and spread evenly to cover cake.
  9. Decorate top with fresh berries, flowers or sprinkles.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
