Orange and Blueberry Cake
Ingredients
- 75 g (3 oz) unsalted butter
- 150 g (1 cup) flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 75 g (⅓ cup) caster sugar
- Finely grated zest and 3 tablespoons juice from 1 orange
- 1 egg
- 80 ml (⅓ cup) milk
- 100 g (4 oz) blueberries
Instructions
-
Set your oven to 180 °C (175 °C).
-
Melt the butter and brush a little of it inside a 23cm (9-inch) loose-based flan tin or cake tin, setting the rest aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, stir the flour, baking powder and sugar together with a balloon whisk or fork until well combined.
-
Add the orange zest and juice, egg, milk and melted butter, stirring until combined.
-
Pour the batter into the tin, scatter over half the blueberries and bake for 15 minutes.
-
Scatter the remaining blueberries across the cake, which should be just firm enough to stop them sinking too much, and continue to bake for a further 20 minutes or until the edges are nicely golden and the centre is cooked through when tested with a toothpick.
-
Let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out.
