The Best blueberry loaf cake recipe

I’ve always been a fan of blueberry loaf cake, and it’s become a staple in our household. The recipe originated from my grandmother, who used to make it for special occasions like birthdays and holidays.

I’ve tweaked it over the years to make it healthier and more suitable for everyday eating. My kids love helping me mix the batter and sprinkling the blueberries on top.

This cake is perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or even just a quick breakfast on-the-go. The best part is that it’s packed with nutritious ingredients like whole wheat flour, fresh blueberries, and just the right amount of sugar.

When I’m feeling stressed or need a pick-me-up, baking this cake always puts me in a good mood. Plus, the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting from the oven is unbeatable.

I’ve shared this recipe with friends and family, and everyone raves about it. One of my friends even uses it as a base for her own creations, adding different fruits and nuts to create new flavor combinations.

The key to making this cake is using high-quality ingredients and not overmixing the batter. This ensures that the cake stays moist and tender, with just the right crumb texture.

🥘Ingredients

For the Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Streusel Topping

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
3In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Set aside.
4In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6Stir in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt.
7Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
8Fold in the blueberries gently.
9The batter will be thick.
10For the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
11Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
12Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter in the loaf pan.
13Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
14The top should be golden brown and the cake should pull away slightly from the sides of the pan.
15Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

📝Notes

Tips: For a burst of blueberry flavor, toss the blueberries in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom. You can also add a lemon zest to the batter for an extra zing.
