Cottage Cheese Blueberry Breakfast Cake

01Method

1. 1

   Prepare and measure out all ingredients before starting.

2. 2

   Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing about 2 inches of overhang on the sides.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (reserving 1 tablespoon), whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. 4

   Place cottage cheese, honey, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

5. 5

   Stir the beaten eggs into the blended cottage cheese mixture until combined.

6. 6

   Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated.

7. 7

   In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the reserved tablespoon of flour, then gently fold them into the batter. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

8. 8

   Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to rest in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Lift the cake out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
