How to Make Apple Blueberry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup whipping cream (or whole milk). Let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar together for 1-2 minutes at medium speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the cooled butter mixture to the egg mixture, mixing on low speed until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples and 1 cup fresh blueberries.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely before serving. Dust with powdered sugar (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
