Blueberry Loaf Cake

Blueberry Loaf Cake

(adapted from Taste of Home recipe)

Preheat oven at 350 degrees

Grease one 9x5" loaf pan

1/2 cup butter, softened (I use Becel too and it works)

1 cup sugar (I used less)

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

TOPPING:

2 - 4 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

recipe adapted from the Taste of Home recipe

 Cream butter and sugar till fluffy.  Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla.  Combine flour and baking powder; add to cream mixture just till combined.

Pour 1/2 the batter into the greased pan.  Gently layer blueberries over top,  add the rest of the dough over the berries.*  Sprinkle the topping and bake about 50 minutes (or until done).

Cool in the pan about 10 minutes before removing.  Cool completely.

* My tip:   Adding the blueberries this way rather than mixing them into the dough prevents you from getting 'blue dough.'
