Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups buttermilk ** see note in substitution section
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon iodized salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries
- Optional:
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar ( powdered sugar) for the top of the cake
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt pan. If you have never done this before, read How to Grease and Flour Cake Pans. This is a very important step. You want to be sure that the entire pan is covered so it will easily release from the pan.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. This is easily done using a whisk.
Add in the buttermilk, canola oil and vanilla extract. Combine well.
Add the sugar and whisk it into the wet ingredients.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Thoroughly combine in the dry ingredients.
Add the blueberries to the batter. Use a rubber spatula to stir them into the batter.
Spoon the batter into your prepared pan.
Place the pan into the oven on a center rack.
Bake for 50-55 minutes. Oven temperatures vary so start checking in on the cake after 45 minutes of baking time. You want the top of the cake to be completely set and golden brown.
You can insert a cake tester or toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Invert it on to a cooling rack and let the cake cool to room temperature.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar.
