The design is inspired by Baker Spice. Cream cheese and handmade blueberry jam elevate the cake's flavor and texture. Furthermore, the way the cake base is arranged makes it appear more expensive, perfect for showing off. Personally, I think the biggest feature of this cake is its high flexibility. You can adjust the amount of cream cheese to determine whether the final texture is light or dense. In this recipe, I used 250 grams of cream cheese in a 1:1 ratio with the cream. You can also adjust the amount of blueberry jam or simply substitute other fruits to determine the cake's color and flavor. (I recommend strawberries, mulberries, and cherries.) Compared to cake flour, I prefer using all cornstarch for a smoother texture. Attentive readers may have already noticed that I used a small four-roll recipe for the cake base. In my experience, 40 grams of cornstarch is the minimum; the resulting cake base will be very light and fluffy, even with a slightly sandy texture. You can also add 50 grams or even 60 grams; increasing the flour makes the cake denser and more substantial. If you don't have an oven, you can use an air fryer to make a cake base, but you can only make a regular three-tiered cake, not a vertical cake base like this. The biggest highlight of this cake is the addition of an equal amount of cream cheese to the frosting; it's not recommended to omit this step. 🐥❗️Please read the tips carefully after finishing the recipe; solutions to common problems are provided!

Tips for making a delicious blueberry cake that looks complicated but is actually very simple!
After observing the comments and everyone's creations, here are some points to note: 1. When whipping the cream, add the cream cheese in two batches after the cream begins to form soft peaks, mixing well after each addition. Add the blueberry jam last (it's recommended to whip at high speed until foamy, then switch to low speed to avoid over-whipping); 2. The cream cheese should be fully softened at room temperature until there are no lumps and the texture is somewhat like salad dressing; 3. The containers and utensils used for whipping must be completely free of water and oil; 4. Do not add water when making the blueberry jam; 5. It's best to use an electric mixer to whip the cream; 6. The corn oil in the recipe can be substituted with an equal amount of flavorless oil; That's all I can think of for now! Thank you for liking it! Hope you enjoy this cake! ❤️🫐 (Updated 12/15)
