Blueberry Tea Cake
I’m sorry I couldn’t wait. This cake was so yummy I had to take a bite (or a couple) before I could take a photo. We had Sunday dinner at Tante and Onkels place. Dinner was inspired by the season’s best. Fårikål was the main course with Autumn lamb and new potatoes made by none other than the family chef – Onkel. Dessert was a new take on the Apple Tea Cake, with fresh hand picked blueberries from the morning’s trip up the mountain, beautifully made by Kusine. The family always makes the best cakes for get-togethers and so I had been saving myself all week in anticipation – keeping my blood sugar low just for this one indulgence. It was very hard to have just one piece. But below is the recipe for this Blueberry Tea Cake and so you can make and eat as much as you want – you lucky ducks!
Blueberry Tea Cake
125 g butter
125 g sugar
125 g flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
125 g fresh blueberries plus extra for the side
2 tablespoons sugar for top of cake
½ teaspoon cinnamon for top of cake
Vanilla ice cream for the side
Method
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Crumble together butter, sugar, flour and baking powder. Beat eggs and stir into mixture. Grease a round cake tin and sprinkle the blueberries in. Spread the cake mix over the blueberries. Sprinkle the extra sugar and cinnamon on top. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
Serve the cake hot, warm or cold with ice cream and extra blueberries. You can also use whipped cream, sour cream or a light custard.
Enjoy!

Many Norwegians know what they are doing when they pick wild mushrooms. This knowledge is passed down the family during mushroom hunting trips. The hard-core mushroom hunters go into the mountain wilderness for days to get the best finds.
How Norway became a country is shrouded in mystery and folklore. The most well known tale is of Harald Hårfagre who gathered the small kingdoms of the north into a unified nation in 872AD – and of course, this story is about love.
Lathari beach is the only beach in Alta.
Pølse is THE fast food of Norway. When the grilled pølse was first introduced to Norway in the 50s it was eaten naked – without bread.
Nisse parties happen in many kindergartens, primary schools, church and community groups in Norway. They are a casual celebration of the julenisse (Christmas elf) tradition especially for children (but the big kids love them too).
Runes were the written language of the Vikings.
This one looks quite delicious. I love blueberries so I think I’ll copy your recipe and try it for myself. You always take the best photos.
Mmmm… that looks delicious! I regularly bake blueberry muffins, so this will make a nice change. Thanks for sharing! xx
Ah, the blueberries!!! I remember them well!!! And I brought home 2 blueberry pickers! But baking powder, i had a horrible time finding this in Norway. I found baking amonia, ant was able to adjust my American recipes to us that and finally found baking powder across the border in Sweden. It is hard to find some ingredietns in Norway (i.e. baking soda, shortening, sage). I learned to make pis crust with butter (keeping it constantly cold and not working it much) because I culd not find shortening. I did find sage in Sweden but never found baking soda. thank you for sharing your recipes…I love them!!!
