Ingredients

For the orange blossom blueberry cake

  • 175 g (6.2 oz) butter, softened
  • 200 g (7 oz) caster sugar
  • 225 g (8 oz) self-raising flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp orange blossom water optional
  • 150 g (5.5 oz) blueberries

Blueberry glaze

  • 175 g (6.2 oz) blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Make the Lemon blueberry loaf:

  • Preheat the oven to fan-assisted 160C / 180C / 350F gas 4 and lightly oil and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin.
  • Using an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and caster sugar together in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the orange blossom water.
  • Fold in the flour followed by the blueberries.
  • Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared loaf tin and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 mins or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Make the blueberry glaze:

  • Combine all blueberry glaze ingredients in a pot and simmer for about 10 mins or until the blueberry sauce is thick. Blend into a puree with a handheld blender.

Finish the cake:

  • Drizzle as much of the blue berry glaze as you like over the cool sponge cake, cut into slices and serve.
