Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup softened butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Filling

  • 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two cake pans.
  • Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  • Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, alternating with buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Make the Blueberry Filling

  • Combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries soften and release juices, creating a thick sauce.

Prepare the Whipped Cream

  • Chill a bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes. Whip cold heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Add sugar and vanilla, continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Assemble the Cake

  • Trim cake layers if needed. Place one layer on a stand, spread with blueberry filling and whipped cream. Top with second layer and frost with remaining whipped cream.

Notes

  • 1- Use cold ingredients for flakier biscuits.
  • 2- Taste the apple filling and adjust spices as needed.
  • 3- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
