4. 4

   Toss the blueberries in 1 tbsp of flour and gently fold them through the batter. That way they stay evenly distributed instead of sinking to the bottom in a blue layer.BakingPour the batter into a straight-sided loaf pan (see cakevormen)Place on the lower rackBake for 65–75 minutesIs the top browning too quickly? After about 50–60 minutes, lay a piece of foil over it.The cake is done when a skewer comes out clean.The finishing touchLet it cool for a bit and then give it some love with a simple lemon glaze. Let it drip slowly along the edges and place a few extra blueberries on top.Serve on neat gebaksbordjes, a fork isn't necessary. Do have a cup of tea or a cappuccino with it!
