Equipment

  • loaf pan 9x5 inch

Ingredients

  • 350g fresh blueberries that have gone a bit soft
  • 120g or ½ cup sour cream full fat
  • 113g or ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 200g or 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 260g or 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Set the berries in a baking pan that’s either 8x8 or 9x9.
  • Roast the berries until some have burst, the liquid at the bottom of the pan has thickened - about 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Set the berries in a food processor and puree.
  • Add the sour cream and puree the mix until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Prepare a 5x9 inch loaf pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl melt the butter. Add the sugar, salt, lemon zest and vanilla and whisk very well.
  • Whisk in the eggs, vigorously, the mix should turn thick and shiny. If it breaks, this means the eggs were too cold (they should be at room temperature).
  • Whisk the blueberry sour cream mix until the batter is even, then stir in the flour (sift it in if it’s lumpy) and baking powder.
  • Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle the granulated sugar on top. The oven should be at 350 F for baking. Bake the loaf cake until a cake tester comes out clean, about an hour. Let cool slightly in pan then transfer to cooling rack.
