Blueberry Loaf Cake

February 22, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Saturday to you.  Today I have a little off the wall recipe, ok it’s not really off the wall.  It’s actually pretty perfect, no matter how it looks.  My Husband took a look at it and said what is that?  It’s kind of funny looking.  I said it’s a loaf cake.  He was like ummm, ok.   I said here, just take a slice and judge for yourself.  He took a bite, then another and said it’s really good.  Then told me that is super moist and I love the blueberries.  I said is it blog worthy?  He said yup, share away!!!  So here I am!
Blueberry Cake Loaf
He wasn’t kidding, this is a super moist cake and has the most creamy buttery flavor with a hint of vanilla. It is truly a fantastic cake!!  WAY better than the stuff in the box!  Heck, I even impressed myself with it.  I love when I do that!  I love when things come out better than expected, no matter how it looks. Goes to show, you can’t always judge a book by its cover!!
Blueberry Cake Loaf
I decided to make the cake in a loaf pan for two reasons, one calories! I wanted to slice it like bread so I wouldn’t consume a billion calories as I would in a slice of cake. Two, it’s easier for me to pack up and give to my Husband for his lunches. However, I am sure you could bake this in an 8″ round pan if you wanted a true cake shape.  But one thing I’m not, is traditional.  I like to change it up!  It’s what makes cooking and baking fun!
Blueberry Cake Loaf
My Husband was ticked pink when I told him it was all for him. See, since January I kind of skimped on making him weekly treats to take to work. When I make things I tend to eat it and I have been trying really hard not to make too  many sweets, because I do eat it or at least sample it. But I decided that he needed something for work. Last week it was pink chocolate chip cookies and this week Blueberry Loaf Cake. I think I am spoiling him!!
Blueberry Cake Loaf
The cake is simple to make too! It only has a few household ingredients and it’s pretty low in sugar. I added blueberries to add additional flavor since I was skipping the frosting. You could frost this cake if you wanted to. But really, it is wonderful plain. I am pretty proud of this cake, considering the sides peeked up. Here is what it looked like whole. It’s funny looking!
Blueberry Cake Loaf
I am sure you will love this cake if you like vanilla flavored cake. You could add other frozen fruit to it or heck, you could even add chocolate chips. It’s so versatile. Plus it’s the perfect size cake for two people. Oh how I do love cake, but I didn’t want a big one in the house. I would eat it all! I have no self-control when it comes to sweets.  It’s such a downfall for me.

Blueberry Cake Loaf
This cake would be perfect for a celebration, to snack on at lunch as my Husband will be doing or even for having with your morning coffee. It’s not overly sweet, but sweet enough. Really, no matter how funny it looks, I am truly happy with the outcome. And ohhhhh, that buttery flavor just calls me!! I can’t get over how you can taste the butter.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Make sure you get out there and enjoy it!  The work week comes way to fast!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    If you reserve just a bit of the flouand toss the blueberries in it, the berries will not fall to the bottom.
    A nice variation is to top the batter with some lemon zest tossed with sugar and a bit of cinnamon.

    Odd this post required a url.

      Actually I did toss the blueberries in flour, but they still sank, that’s why I kept it out of the recipe. Not sure why? I bet the lemon zest and sugar would be really good on top. For me, I am not a big frosting or glaze person, I tend to like my cakes more plain. Thanks for the advice! 🙂

        it’s been devoured…..no left overs. I used Splenda and more blueberries…super easy and yummy. Once plated, I added some butter on top and let it melt down the sides… Thanks for the post. I might have to double the recipe next time …lol

          Oh my gosh you are to funny! I can’t believe you made this already! I am so glad it was liked!! I too love how easy it is to make. I totally love the idea of using butter on the top to melt over it. Oh my gosh, I bet that is good!! My Husband requested that I made it again tomorrow and I think I’ll try your butter on top. Yah, doubling the recipe maybe a good idea!! 🙂 Thank you so much for letting me know it turned out for you!! Have a great rest of the weekend.

      Hi Margie, I don’t see why not? Just watch the cooking time. It will cook quicker in mini loafs.

    My son is going through a “muffin phase”. Can I just throw the batter into a muffin tin?

      Hi Mari! Thank you so much for the compliment, he he. Yes I don’t see why you can’t throw the batter into a muffin tin. Just watch the cooking time. I would start watching the muffins at about 15 minutes. Let me know how they turn out!

    Since it is the season, is there any reason I can’t use fresh blueberries? I can see this being a year round hit.

    I don’t quite understand the recipe. Step five says to alternate the milk with the flour. When do you combine the butter and egg mixture? It looks and sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try it?

      Hi Anne,

      You missed step 4- In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until incorporated.

      Enjoy the cake. You will love it!!!

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?
