Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and lightly flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tbsp of dry cocoa powder.
- Stir them together until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat together 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp of melted butter, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir them together using a wooden spoon or a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Add 1 cup of sugar and mix until just combined.
- Carefully fold 1 cup of blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by sifting 1 cup of powdered sugar into a bowl.
- Add just enough water (1-2 tablespoons) to reach a drizzle-able consistency, mixing well to avoid any lumps.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the top.
- Allow the glaze to set before slicing the cake.
- Enjoy your super-easy chocolate cake!
Tips:
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps in achieving a smooth batter.
- Sift the dry ingredients together to avoid any lumps, especially the cocoa powder.
- Do not overmix the batter once you add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients; this will help keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them, which ensures they remain whole and juicy in the cake.
- If you want extra moisture, you can brush a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, boiled together) onto the cake layers before frosting.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar or adding any frosting to avoid it melting.
This super-easy chocolate cake is sure to become a favorite in your household. Its moist and rich texture, combined with the surprise burst of blueberries, makes it a delightful treat. Enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra-special dessert.
