- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

How To Make Martha Stewart Blueberry Cake
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add wet ingredients: Add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until a semi-thick batter forms.
- Prepare the blueberries: Toss the blueberries with 2 teaspoons of flour to prevent sinking.
- Fold in berries: Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter.
- Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Add topping: Brush the top of the cake with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
- Finish baking: Continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Recipe Tips
- Why toss blueberries in flour? It prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes, but thaw and pat dry first before dusting with flour.

- Can I use a different pan? Yes, a 9×9-inch pan will make the cake thicker—just adjust the baking time.
