Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt in a bowl and whisk together to combine
In a separate bowl, combine egg, oil, buttermilk, vanilla
Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and whisk together until fully combined. Toss blueberries in flour to coat and then gently fold into batter.
Pour batter into greased 9" cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean
Allow cake to cool completely before frosting. While your cake cools, combine butter and powdered sugar in bowl of a stand mixer and mix until fully combined (should be thick). Add vanilla and then add maple syrup 1 tsp at a time until desired consistency is reached.
To make your frosting extra fluffy, using the whisk attachment on your stand mixer, turn it up to an 8 speed once frosting is fully combined and let it whip for about a minute to incorporate some air.
Frost your cake, and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and allow to come to room temp before enjoying.
