Blueberry cake

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients (serves 8)
Melted butter, to grease
150g butter, cubed
155g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
2 eggs
265g (13/4 cups) self-raising flour
1 x 200g carton fat-reduced strawberry yoghurt (Attiki brand)
1 x 150g punnet blueberries
Icing sugar, to dust

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a square 19cm (base measurement) cake pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper.
  2. Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition until combined.
  3. Stir in half the flour and yoghurt until just combined. Stir in the remaining flour and yoghurt until combined. Spoon into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the top. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
  4. Carefully turn out onto a wire rack. Turn upright and set aside for a further 20 minutes or until cooled to room temperature. Dust with icing sugar and cut into slices to serve.

Notes & tips You can make this cake up to 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight.

The South African Blueberry Company is located in Franschhoek South Africa, the heart of Africa's wine producing area. Though wine grapes are grown, our specialty is export blueberries, grown in the southern hemisphere, which make them available from mid October for three weeks, or weeks 42 - 44.

For commercial purposes, the South African Blueberry Company concentrates on vacinnium ashei, or Southern rabbiteye's. Rabbiteye's get their name from the flower mark or calyx, which resembles the eye of the rabbit.

 We only grow the O'Neal blueberry  rabbiteye variety on the blueberry farm. It is a slow grower, but it fruits at an opportune moment for the northern hemisphere market. They are not only  larger than other early varieties, but are sweeter, leaving a delightful residual tartness. Our brief harvest period makes the South African Blueberry Company important to importers.

Recent studies are hailing blueberries as the reigning king of antioxidants, disease fighters that also help slow down the outward and inward effects of ageing. 

Blueberry's have the highest overall antioxidant score of some 40 fresh fruits, juices and vegetables tested. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radical damage that can lead to cancer and other age related diseases.
