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.

Can you please write your recipes with gms/ounces – we don’t use cup measures (and not on our scales)and it isn’t easy finding consistent cup measures.
Thanks.

Can i make this into ONE regular size loaf pan? I don’t have (or want) mini loafs.
Yes, you can!
Can I make a crumb top to this what would I need thank you
Thank you so much for the tip re: tossing in flour to prevent sinking blueberries. That has prevented me from baking blueberry goodies. Might try this with raspberries (my sister is hoping for a large crop this summer). Looking forward to making this. Kind regards. Stay safe.
DB, awesome!
What can you use instead of milk?
Almond milk?
These look so lovely! Is it OK to use oil instead of butter or can you suggest at alternative?
Hi Monica, you can try oil but I am not sure if you use the exact amount. I just can’t guarantee the same results.
Blueberry cake is the best!
I just finished baking your mini blueberry cake loafs and they turned out amazing! I’ll get a little more creative next time and try different berries, and maybe even some shaved walnuts on top. Thank you for sharing :)
Yummy!
I made it as one cake–took a bit longer to cook all the way through, but everyone liked it. I’ll probably try it with mixed berries as well. It’s a good recipe for when you need to whip up a fast, simple and delicious dessert that’s fairly light as well.
If it’s not too much trouble, can you convert this recipe in grams. Would really appreciate it. Thank you
You can add any crumbs you like.
