Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can.
However, frozen blueberries are usually watery after defrost, so make sure you pat dry the frozen blueberries with paper towels before adding them to the cake batter.
To help keep your blueberries from sinking to the bottom, toss the berries in flour before adding them to the batter.
The coating helps suspend them better during baking so they don’t sink to the bottom.

Blueberry Cake
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease four mini loaf pans with butter (I used 3" x 1.75" (7 cm x 4.5 cm) pans). You may also use one regular loaf pan.
- Place the butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk for 2 minutes until well combined.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir this mixture into the creamed mixture, then fold in the blueberries.
- Transfer the batter into the pans and bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. If using a regular loaf pan, you may need to bake for 40 minutes or longer. If the top of the cake starts to darken too much, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil at the 30-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Let the loaves cool for 10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Hie! I tried this recipe today converting all to grams. So I get 226gm of flour. The batter became very very sticky. Please advice
1 cup of flour is 125 grams. For this recipe, you need to use an American measurement cup…
May I know how much is 1/2 cup butter in grams?
113g

Nice Post . Thank you :)
I think your website is fantastic.
Thanks!
Having recently found your website I have tried several receipes. My diabetic husband is on a low carb diet so we skip the rice noodles, rice etc and prepare the protein vegetable part. We have really enjoyed the chicken satay and peanuts sauce and others with tofu. My husband is with your little boy on the tofu tomato eggs. He loves it. Thanks for your help with trying to provide interesting textured dishes for my fussy eater!
Hi Marilyn, thanks for leaving me such a sweet comment. Glad that your husband is enjoying the dishes. :)
These are dainty and I agree- perfect for tea time. It’s nice to indulge in a piece of cake and reap blueberry antioxidant benefits too! Thanks for posting this!
