Ingredients

200g butter

250g caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

120g self raising flour

80g ground almonds

1 tsp baking soda

a pinch of salt

125g blueberries

1 lemon, juice and zest plus slices for the top

125g blueberries

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

90g softened butter

180g cream cheese

60g icing sugar

1/2 lemon, juice and zest

TO SERVE

125g blueberries

a few lemon slices

METHOD

Prepare a loaf tin with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 180c/170c fan/350f.

Cream the butter and sugar together and then add the vanilla and eggs. Add the flour, baking soda, ground almonds, pinch of salt and mix well. Add the lemon juice and zest, mix again.

Toss the blueberries in a little flour (so they don't fall through the mixture while cooking), fold them through.

Pour into the prepared tin and bake for around 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Cool in the tin briefly and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

Make the cream cheese frosting by mixing the butter and cream together and then adding the sifted icing sugar a spoonful at time.

Spread the top of the cake with the frosting and then add a few blueberries and lemon slices to make it pretty and... ta daaa!
