Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your oven is at the right temperature by the time you’re ready to bake.
Step 2: Make the Crust
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder. Once combined, cut the butter into small cubes and blend it into the flour mixture using a fork. The mixture should become crumbly. Next, add the egg and mix until the dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into a greased springform pan, creating a smooth and even layer. This will be the base for your blueberries and filling.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
Spread the blueberries evenly over the crust. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, white sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture over the blueberries, making sure it covers them evenly.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The filling should be set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Once the cake is done, let it cool completely before removing it from the springform pan. This helps the cake set and makes it easier to slice. Serve your Nova Scotia Blueberry Cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Final Thoughts
This Nova Scotia Blueberry Cake is a true celebration of fresh, juicy blueberries. The combination of the buttery crust and creamy filling makes each bite a delightful experience. Perfect for gatherings or just a special treat at home, this cake will surely become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy!
