Pound Cake with Blueberries Directions :

1 Set rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees.

2 Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium speed with the paddle attachment until stiff peaks appear, about 3-5 minutes. Add vanilla extract. Add 3 eggs one at a time, after each egg is added beat until smooth before adding each egg.

3 Set the stand mixer speed to low and beat in one-third of the four, then another egg, beating until smooth,  after each addition. Stop the mixer often to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a flexible rubber spatula.

4 Pour batter into the buttered pan and smooth the top.

5 Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry.
