Easy Blueberry Buttermilk Cake

By cwyorkiex3

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups cake flour*
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter
• 3/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 3/4 cups low fat buttermilk
• 2 cups blueberries
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 tsp vanilla
• baking spray

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with baking spray.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, in a medium bowl, beat sugar and butter for about 3 minutes. Add egg and egg whites one at a time and beat until combined. Add buttermilk, vanilla and applesauce until incorporated.

Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Gently fold in blueberries.

Place the batter into the prepared cake pan; bake cake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 30-32 minutes. Serve room temperature.

Note: For the photo I made half of the cake using a 9 x 9 inch pan for nine servings, same baking time but the recipe is written for a full sheet cake. I'll leave it up to you how many servings you want to make!
