A good blueberry loaf cake should be tender, moist, and not too sweet. This recipe delivers all three.

Ingredients

200 g all-purpose flour
150 g granulated sugar
115 g unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
120 ml milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
150 g blueberries, tossed in 1 tbsp flour
zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Prepare a 9 x 5 in (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan, greased and lined.
Beat the butter and sugar for 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Fold into the batter in two batches, alternating with the milk.
Fold in the blueberry ingredients from the list above.
Spoon the batter into the pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack.
Dust the cooled cake with the powdered sugar just before serving.

Tips

Ovens vary, so start checking a few minutes before the suggested time.
Bring the eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature for a smoother batter.

Storage

Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
