Nova Scotia Blueberry Cream Cake: Your Slice of Coastal Heaven

Step-by-Step Baking Guide

Let’s bring this dreamy cake to life!

1. Prep Your Pan

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Combine the Wet Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Bring It All Together

• Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry—don’t overmix! A few lumps are fine.

• Toss the blueberries in a little flour (to prevent sinking) and fold them into the batter.

• Pour into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.

5. Make the Cream Filling

• Beat the cream cheese until smooth.

• Add sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla, mixing until creamy.

6. Swirl & Bake

• Dollop the cream filling over the batter and gently swirl with a knife.

• Bake for 40–50 minutes, until golden and set (a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs).

7. Cool & Enjoy

• Let the cake cool in the pan for 30+ minutes before slicing.

• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature for the best texture.

This Nova Scotia Blueberry Cream Cake is a celebration of flavors—tender cake, juicy berries, and a luscious cream swirl in every bite. Perfect for sharing (or savoring solo!).
