Ingredients
For the cake
– 250g self-raising flour
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 250g butter
– 250g caster sugar
– 4 large eggs
– Drops of lemon extract
– 500g fresh blueberries
– 20g flaked almonds
For the topping
– 140g softened butter
– 280g icing sugar
– 2 tsp lemon juice
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 23cm round cake tin. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, butter, and caster sugar until combined. Gradually add the eggs, beating well between each addition.
Step 2
Fold in the blueberries and lemon extract, then spoon the mixture into the prepared tin. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
To make the topping, beat together the butter, icing sugar and lemon juice until light and fluffy. Spread over the cooled cake and sprinkle with a few more flaked almonds. Serve with fresh blueberries.
This Jamie Oliver-inspired Blueberry Cake is the perfect way to indulge your sweet tooth. With its light and fluffy texture and sweet-tart topping, this cake has a soft and creamy, yet smoky flavour due to the addition of lemon extract and flaked almonds. And with the simple yet delicious topping, it’s sure to be a hit with family and friends!
This recipe builds on the traditional British delight – lemon drizzle cake – by adding some fresh blueberries for extra colour and flavour. For those looking for something a little different, this cake can also be made with strawberries instead of blueberries.
