Blueberry Cake

Nowdays, I like everything with blueberries in them eg. blueberry cereals, blueberries (obviously), and even dreamt of blueberry shortcake :>

Here is a recipe which I adapted using my favourite blueberries:

180g self raising flour
3 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoon butter
100g sugar (or 80g to make it less sweet)
2 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 oz blueberry jam (can replace with strawberry or raspberry jam)
2 oz chopped blueberries (or strawberries)


1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees C.
2. Butter bottom and sides of a rectangular tin.
3. Sift flour with baking powder and resift flour (as this cake is quite flat and not too fluffy).
4. Cream butter and sugar until light. Beat egg and vanilla essence.
5. Mix in 1 oz jam, mix in flour misture. Fold in chopped blueberries.
6. Swirl in remaining 1 oz jam.
7. Pour mixture into the tin.
8. Bake for 30 min to 35 min, or until top is golden brown.
9. Serve.
