You might find a few different versions around. Some with yogurt for extra tenderness—which is awesome—or a hint of lemon for more zip. The basic combo of bananas and blueberries just works. Some people even go for mini loaves or muffins using this same banana blueberry recipe. Super handy for grab-and-go breakfasts.

Honestly, however you slice it, this cake brings comfort and loads of flavor every time. Enjoy experimenting to discover your favorite twist on this treat. Really, it's all about finding what you love.

Preparation

How to prepare Banana and Blueberry Loaf Cake

To prepare the banana and blueberry loaf cake, start with the bananas, preferably very ripe: peel them and cut 13 oz of pulp into rough pieces 1, then transfer it to a bowl. Add the lemon zest 2 and the squeezed and filtered juice 3.

Use a fork to mash until smooth 4. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and sugar 5, then beat with an electric mixer for about ten minutes. When the mixture is fluffy and frothy, slowly pour in the vegetable oil while keeping the mixer on 6.

Once the oil is fully absorbed, incorporate the puree 7, then sift in the flour 8 and baking powder 9.

Add the baking soda 10 and mix briefly with the mixer, just enough to combine everything 11. Finally, add the blueberries 12.

Gently fold them in with a spatula to incorporate evenly. Grease and flour a 9x3 inch loaf pan, then fill it with the batter 14. Smooth the surface and cut it lengthwise with a greased knife; this will create the typical crack. Bake the loaf cake in a static oven at 340°F for about 70-80 minutes. Check the doneness with a toothpick, then remove from oven and let your banana and blueberry loaf cake cool 15 before slicing and enjoying!

Storage

The banana and blueberry loaf cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Tip

You can substitute granulated sugar with the same amount of brown sugar for a more intense flavor.

If desired, you can further flavor the batter with vanilla extract or enrich it with candied ginger cubes!
