Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake

Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake


DifficultyBeginnerYields12 Servings

This blueberry lemon loaf cake recipe is so easy to make. It’s a really simple lemon loaf cake with fresh blueberries, topped with a crunchy crumble topping which gives it a bit of a twist. The flavour combination is so good! Don’t fancy the crumble topping? Try the lemon glaze from my lemon loaf recipe instead, for that extra lemon flavor.

I recommend using fresh blueberries for this blueberry pound cake rather than frozen blueberries so you don’t have any excess liquid in your cake batter. 

I always find pound cakes are best made the day before you want to serve them, so don’t rush the cool down.

Ingredients


For the Crumble
 50 g Sugar
 50 g Plain / All Purpose Flour
 50 g Ground Almonds
 50 g Cold Unsalted Butter, Cubed
For the Cake
 4 Large Eggs
 300 g Sugar

Shop the equipment

Method


Crumble
1

In a stand mixer, beat all your ingredients together on a low speed until they form a crumble, then set to one side.

Cake
2

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and lemon zest until thick.

3

Pour in the cream and whisk.

4

Sift in the flour and baking powder and whisk gently to combine.

5

Pour in the oil and mix until there are no streaks.

6

Fold in the floured blueberries.

7

Pour the batter into a greased and lined 2lb loaf pan.

8

Top with the crumble and then bake at 160C (non fan assisted) for 80-90 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

9

Once baked, remove the cake from the tin and leave to cool completely at room temperature. Once it’s cooled I like to wrap it up and then refrigerate it, I find you get a better texture!
