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!!!

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
