Blueberry Loaf Cake

by Mandy Simmonds

After a quick rummage in my store cupboard and freezer, I came up with these simple yet utterly delicious cakes. In my opinion if you are making 1 cake, then you may as well make 2! We are spending so much time at home and these cakes will be thoroughly enjoyed by all. Cooks Matches and I want to know what your go-to store cupboard recipes are? Do you have a lovely home bake that you make often?

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs drop at a time whilst mixing hard. Continue until fully incorporated. Slowly fold in the flour until combined.
  3. Split between the 2 loaf tins.
  4. Add the blueberries to the top and poke in a little with your finger.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through. Check with a cocktail stick, if clean when it’s removed then the cake is cooked.
  6. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  7. Enjoy with a nice cup of tea :)
