Moist Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake

After spending many years searching for a good 'pound' cake that wasn't dry, or flavourless, I decided to experiment and make my own recipe up with different flavour combinations to see if I could really get a moist cake. Once you've tried this recipe, I am sure you will make it time and time again. So here's the recipe, and enjoy!
You will need a loaf tin, mine measures 30cm x 12cm, and 8cm deep. (12 inch pan)
The batter may also fit in a 9 inch loaf pan. If you have any left over, make some cup cakes!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Yield: 10 servings

INGREDIENTS

THE CAKE BATTER
175 g or 3/4 cup softened butter
120 ml or 1/2 cup milk
290 g or  1 1/2 cups regular sugar
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
150 g or 1 cup Frozen Blueberries
225 g or  1 3/4 cups  Plain / All purpose flour (sieved)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS


1. Heat oven to 160C, Gas 3, 300F. Grease and line your baking tin. See here for how to line.
** Please note, if using a Bundt tin, be sure to grease it very well as it can be hard to get the cake out of such a shaped tin.
2. Get all your ingredients ready, i.e zest and juice the lemon, sieve the flour, and add the salt and baking powder to the flour etc.
3. Start with making the cake batter by creaming the butter and sugar until a pale light colour.
4. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the mixer, on a low speed setting, a bit at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle or split, add a spoonful of your sieved flour, keep on adding the eggs, and a bit of flour if necessary, until all the eggs are added.

5. Add half the milk with half of the flour, keeping the mixer on a slow speed. Once combined, add the lemon juice, and zest, the rest of the milk and flour. Right at the end, fold in the blueberries.
6 Transfer the cake mixture to the greased and lined loaf tin. Place in the oven for 1hr and 20 minutes. Test if done by placing a skewer in the centre of the cake and make sure it comes out clean. Every oven is different so cook times will vary a little.
***** Please note, if using a Bundt tin, cook time is 1 Hour 10 minutes.
7. Have a cup of tea and wait!
