Blueberry Chocolate Cake
Spray an 8 or 9 inch cake pan with baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper. Leave an overhang on both sides to make the cake easier to remove from the pan once baked.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat 1-2 minutes, until mixture lightens in color.
Mix in the oil. Beat until oil is incorporated. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
Mix in the cocoa powder.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt just til there are no streaks of flour in the batter. Beat in the hot water til combined. Use a spatula to gently fold in the blueberries.
Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Bake 31-34 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake.
Remove cake from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting
Blueberries: Rinse, drain, and pat fresh blueberries very dry. Remove stems. For frozen blueberries, thaw and drain before using.
Frosting: If the frosting is too thin, add more sifted powdered sugar a few tablespoons at a time.
Storage: Store this blueberry chocolate cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
