Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cups sourdough discard
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and prepare a 9 by 9 inch baking dish by lining with parchment paper and spraying with nonstick spray.  Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Set aside.

  3. 3

    In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar together until pale and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, and mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Measure out 1/2 cup of milk, and stir in the sourdough discard and vanilla extract.  Pour the milk mixture into the mixing bowl and mix at medium-low speed until incorporated.

  5. 5

    Switch to hand mixing, using a wooden spoon or danish dough whisk, to add the flour mixture into the mixing bowl.  When most of the flour is mixed in, stop mixing.

  6. 6

    Add blueberries to the empty bowl that had the flour mixture in it, and add another 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.  Toss the blueberries around in the flour to coat them evenly.  Add the blueberries (and leftover flour) into the mixing bowl and gently fold them in.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top of the batter evenly.

  8. 8

     Bake at 350 degrees for 48-53 minutes.  The top will be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake will come out clean.

  9. 9

    Cool completely, and then cut into squares to serve.  Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
