How to prepare Blueberry Overload Cream Cake
Ingredients:

- 🥛 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 🌽 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 🌿 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 🍰 2 cups (260 g) flour
- 🥄 1 packet baking powder
- 🧂 A pinch of salt
- 🫐 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 🍬 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 🌾 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 💧 2 tablespoons water
- ❄️ 400 ml cold cream
- 🧀 200 g cream cheese or mascarpone
- 🍭 1 cup powdered sugar
- 🌼 1 teaspoon vanilla (for cream)
- 🫐 Fresh blueberries (for topping)
- 🫐 Blueberry sauce (for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. 🍰
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. 🥚🍚
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Mix well. 🥛🌿
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. 🍰
- Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed. 🫐
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. ⏲️
- While the cake bakes, prepare the blueberry filling. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries (for filling), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, then set aside to cool. 🫐🍬🍋
- Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove them and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. ❄️
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cold cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the cream cheese (or mascarpone), powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. ❄️🧀🍭🌼
- Assemble the cake by placing one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the blueberry filling over the layer, then add a generous amount of whipped cream on top. 🥄
- Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process, finishing with whipped cream on top and decorating with fresh blueberries and blueberry sauce. 🫐🍭
