Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or neutral oil of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

Prepare the Pan:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang for easy removal.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Blend Wet Ingredients:

  1. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, honey, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend until smooth.

Combine Mixtures:

  1. Pour the blended wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  2. Add eggs and stir until just combined (do not overmix).

Incorporate Blueberries:

  1. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking.
  2. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

Bake the Cake:

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.
  2. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

  1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  2. Use the parchment overhang to lift the cake out and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose and whole wheat flour.
  • Sweetener Swap: Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Fruit Variations: Replace blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries.
  • Nut Addition: Fold in chopped almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
