Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 egg

Filling

  • 4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan to prepare for baking.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to work it into the flour mixture until crumbly. Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the greased springform pan.
  3. Add the Blueberries: Spread the blueberries evenly over the crust. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  4. Make the Creamy Filling: In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then gently pour over the blueberries, spreading evenly to cover.
  5. Bake: Bake the cake for 60 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set with a slight jiggle. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing the springform pan’s outer ring.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter variant.
  • Butter can be replaced with margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • Alternative fruits like blackberries, raspberries, or chopped peaches can be used instead of blueberries.
  • Adding lemon zest to the filling brightens the flavor.
  • Sprinkling cinnamon or nutmeg in the crust adds a warm, cozy taste.
  • Top with a light crumb streusel for extra texture and flavor.
  • If using frozen berries, increase baking time by 5-7 minutes to compensate.
