Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir them with a whisk.
  • Add eggs, oil and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix well using a whisk.
  • Gently fold the Blueberries into the mixture. The batter will seem thick.
  • Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with butter or cooking spray to keep the cake from sticking to the pan. Spoon batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine sugar with nutmeg. Stir them with a whisk.
  • Sprinkle sugar/nutmeg mixture on the top of the batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes. Allow the cake to cool before cutting.
  • Serve as desired. Store leftover cake covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or, freeze leftover cake for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Fresh blueberries give the best flavor, but frozen berries can be used - do not thaw before adding to the batter to avoid extra moisture.
  • The sugar and nutmeg topping adds a delightful crunch and subtle warm spice - don’t skip it!
  • Vegetable oil keeps the cake extra moist; using butter will slightly change the texture.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean; oven temperatures may vary.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
