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.

    CAN YOU MAKE THESE INTO MINI LOAVES? AND SHOULD I FILL THEM HALF WAY?

      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!!!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
