All-Purpose Flour: The base of our cake, providing structure and texture. Make sure to measure accurately. In my opinion, a kitchen scale is the best way to measure your ingredients. Baking Powder: Essential for leavening, ensuring our cake rises beautifully. Make sure it’s not expired or too old. To avoid a chemical aftertaste, use baking powder that is labeled aluminum-free. I usually use the Clabber Girl brand, and though the ingredients state aluminum, I’ve never noticed an aluminum aftertaste. Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances all the flavors. : I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half. Milk: Adds moisture to the batter, making our cake wonderfully tender. You can use dairy or non-dairy milk. Lemons: You will use the zest and juice. Both bring a vibrant, lemony kick to the cake. Pure Vanilla Extract: Reach for pure vanilla instead of imitation for optimal flavor. Even better, try homemade vanilla extract! If you are looking for non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring, I recommend Simply Organic Vanilla Flavoring. Unsalted Butter: The key to richness and flavor. We’re opting for butter over oil for that irresistible taste. I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe. Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the cake and provides a lovely golden crust. Regular white granulated sugar or caster sugar. I do not recommend reducing the amount of sugar or changing the type of sugar, as it will change the texture of the cake. Blueberries: Bursting with freshness and natural sweetness, they’re the star of the show! While fresh blueberries are preferred, you can also use frozen blueberries. Just be aware that the bread may be slightly streaked blue from the juices. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw. For The Crumble (optional): You’ll need granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and unsalted butter. For The Lemon Glaze (optional): You’ll need powdered sugar and lemon juice.
Process Overview: How To Make Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake without Eggs Step-by-Step
Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).
Step 1 – Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2 – Combien Wet Ingredients
In a measuring cup or bowl, mix together milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Step 3 – Cream Butter and Sugar
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat butter until creamy on medium-high speed, about 3 – 4 minutes. Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 4 minutes until creamed and pale, scraping down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add lemon zest and beat for 1 minute.
Step 4 – Add Dry and Wet Ingredients
Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk-lemon mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; beat until just combined, about 30 – 45 seconds. Do not overmix. Toss the blueberry with 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir in the blueberries into the batter.
Step 4 – Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. If using, make and add the crumble on top. Note: The batter will be thick, so use a spatula to spread it into the loaf tin, if necessary. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The cake must be completely cool before adding the lemon glaze.
Recipe Tips
Food Allergy Swaps
Dairy-Free: Substitute dairy milk with your favorite plant-based alternative (soy milk or oat milk are my fave), and use vegan butter instead of dairy butter. There are many brands available in stores. I usually use Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks. Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free, all-purpose flour blend. Look for a gluten-free flour blend specifically formulated for baking, as it will have the right combination of flours and starches to mimic the texture of wheat flour. My favorite is Better Batter Original Blend.
Variations & Additions
Lemon Poppy Seed: Add a tablespoon of poppy seeds to the batter for a delightful crunch and extra lemony flavor. Mixed Berry: Feel free to mix things up with a combination of your favorite berries, such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Add Nuts to The Crumble: For extra texture and flavor, you can add a handful of chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans, to the crumble. If you do not like blueberries, substitute your favorite fruit, such as raspberries, strawberries, or even diced peaches.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. To freeze, wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
