Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon vinegar
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon blue food coloring
  • ½ teaspoon violet food coloring
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • For Frosting:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  5. Whisk blue and violet food coloring into buttermilk; add dry ingredients alternately with colored buttermilk to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter.
  7. Divide batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 25 to 27 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, then add vanilla extract.
  10. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until creamy and fluffy.
  11. Frost cooled cakes as desired.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best texture and burst of flavor. Violet food coloring enhances the blue color depth naturally. For even moister cake, ensure sour cream is at room temperature before mixing.
