1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Blueberries

1. Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.

2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

5. Gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries.

4. Bake

2. Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. Mix powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice until smooth.
2. Drizzle over cooled loaf for a sweet finish.

Tips & Variations

• Frozen blueberries: Do not thaw; fold in directly from frozen to prevent color bleeding.
• Lemon flavor: Add 1 tsp lemon zest to the batter for a bright flavor.
• Nutty twist: Fold in 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
• Mini loaves or muffins: Divide batter into mini loaf pans or muffin tins; reduce baking time to 20–25 minutes for muffins.

This Blueberry Loaf Cake is moist, fruity, and lightly sweet, perfect for a cozy treat with coffee or tea.

I can also give a healthier version using whole wheat flour and less sugar if you want.

Do you want me to do that?
