How to Make Grandpa Long's Blueberry Cake

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup milk and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes to curdle (sour milk).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries.
  6. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving warm or completely cool and frost with your favorite frosting.
