Blueberry Yeast Cake image

Similar to a classic battery bread, this slightly sweet loaf is wonderful fresh, or toasted with butter and honey. Almost a coffeecake, but not too rich. Raspberries would work, as would a vanilla paste swirl.

  • Bake until nicely browned (about 40 minutes).
  • Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
