- Prepare the oven and pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
- Cream butter and sugar
Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Don't skip this crucial step for achieving the perfect texture.
- Add wet ingredients
Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Add sour cream and mix until just combined. Don't overmix!
- Combine and fold
Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture. Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to burst them.
- Bake
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and serve
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using parchment paper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
