Some handy tips to bake and store the best version of the blueberry cake

This cake can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. In case you are making it in a large batch, you can cut them up in slices and keep them in individual ziplock bags so that they remain moist even after refrigeration.

It is imperative that you don't overmix the batter because that will make your cake really dense and tough. If you want, you can use buttermilk instead of ordinary milk because buttermilk gives your cakes a tangy edge as well as a more moist mouthfeel.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you should not over-bake the cake. This can be done by checking it at regular intervals during the baking period. A great tip to check the doneness of your cake is to remove the cake from the oven when you see it is lightly golden in colour. Further, when you insert a toothpick in the center, it should come out clean. Some people make the mistake of being impatient, and start to decorate the cake as soon as it is out of the oven. However, this can melt any frosting you put on top, and make it soggy. Hence, you should always let it cool completely before frosting and decorating it.

Who doesn't like a little uniqueness? You can add a new dimension to flavor to the dish by throwing in some lemon zest into the batter, or tossing in a handful of chopped nuts to add a new textural and nutty element.

This cake can become a seasonal favorite among your family members and can be prepared for all kinds of special occasions or regular gatherings among loved ones. It exudes a warmth that is sure to bring everyone back for seconds.
