This light and fluffy "loaf", as I like to call it, is a little piece of heaven. Steph and I were marveling in a buy one get one free blueberry special, and I thought we could put these berries to good use. Not only does this sweet treat suffice for a snack, but it goes great with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or frozen yogurt for an evening dessert.
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour + 3/4 cup cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup blueberries
For topping: 2 tsp sugar + 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer.
2. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract.
3. Combine the flour and baking powder, and slowly add the mixture to the rest of the wet ingredients.
4. Add the blueberries, folding in gently. (Feel free to mix it up by adding 1/2 c blueberries and 1/2 cup raspberries or blackberries!)
5. Pour the batter into a (9" by 3" by 5") loaf pan, and sprinkle the topping evenly.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. (I typically cook it for an hour.)
7. Remove and enjoy! Let it cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing...that is if you can wait.
(We couldn't get a photo of the entire loaf, because we ate it too quickly.)
