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.

    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 Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
