Ingredients
For the Base
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
For the Top Layer
1 egg yolk
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Get a 9 inch springform pan ready by placing parchment paper on the base and lightly greasing the sides.
- In a large bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until evenly combined.
- Add the softened butter and cut it into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the texture becomes crumbly.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms and the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it evenly across the bottom to create the crust layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the sour cream mixture, making sure not to mash the berries as you stir.
- Pour the blueberry topping evenly over the prepared crust.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until the center is fully set and does not jiggle when gently shaken.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before removing the springform ring.
- Slice the cake into pieces and serve. Add whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen blueberries can also be used but should be added directly from the freezer to prevent excess moisture.
Allow the cake to cool fully before slicing so the creamy topping sets properly.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days in an airtight container.
