  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt until blended.
  3. Cream together the butter and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture and stir in the vanilla.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.

  10. Layer one cake on a platter, add whipped cream, and top with the second cake.
  11. Garnish with remaining blueberries and serve immediately.
