This moist, delicious blueberry loaf cake has a hint of lavender. The small amount of steam added by the Anova Precision Oven, along with the fresh blueberries, helps keep the cake moist. Notes: You can omit the lavender if you like for a blueberry loaf cake. Tossing the blueberries in flour before adding to the batter helps to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
