This Blueberry Bread Loaf is an easy blueberry cake recipe that takes 10 minutes to prepare.
With a simple lemon glaze, this makes for a lovely afternoon tea!
Make this with any fruit you want fresh, frozen or even dried!

In fact, you will probably have to start preheating your ovenbeforeyou start preparing the batter.
Otherwise it wont be hot enough.
Thats how fast this is to make.
Because it goes like this: whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Then add egg, yoghurt, oil, lemon zest and vanilla.
Pour into pan and bake.
Yes, its that easy.
I like very much.
If you thaw, they will bleed into the batter and youll end up with blueberry streaks.
Yogurt A secret ingredient wet ingredient in baking to make batters that bake up into lovely moist cakes.
Any plain, unsweetened yogurt is fine here.
I typically use Greek Yogurt.
Flour Just plain / all purpose flour.
This is another ingredient that keeps the crumb of this cake lovely and moist compared to using butter.
While butter provides more flavour in cakes, it makes the crumb more dry.
Baking powder This provides the lift in this recipe, to make the crumb lovely and soft.
Lemon Lemon and blueberries are a classic pairing I use in many of my blueberry recipes.
Sugar Less than most, so this blueberry bread loaf is not as sweet as many recipes youll find.
And thats just the way I like it!
Eggs At room temperature, so they incorporate easily into the batter.
I use vanilla extract here which is real vanilla flavour.
Vanilla essence is artificial so the flavour is not as good.
Salt Just a touch, to bring out the flavours.
This is good general practice for all (well, most!)
Whisk dry ingredients The flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add wet ingredients Eggs, yogurt, lemon, vanilla and oil.
Give it a good mix just until combined.
Once the batter is smooth and you no longer see streaks of flour, stop mixing.
If you overmix, your cake will end up hard instead of soft.
Stir in blueberries Add the flour coated blueberries and stir gently just to mix them through.

Pour into loaf pan Scrape the batter into a lined loaf pan.
This makes a nice tall shaped loaf.
Line the loaf pan with parchment / baking paper to ensure your cake will not stick.
Just lightly grease it with butter so the paper sticks.
Bake 5o minutesat 200*C/390F (180C fan forced).
Voila!Ready to devour!
Will you glaze it with lemon glaze??
It doesntneeda glaze, it is sweet, moist and tasty enough without.
But it is even better WITH!
So if youre in the mood, heres what you need for the glaze!
Pure icing sugar sets with a crust for things likeroyal icing.
Milk If needed, to thin the glaze to the right consistency.
The weekend is here.
Its time to treat yourself!
