Did you notice it? This little cold every morning in the streets of Montreal. The summer is unfortunately coming to an end. And who says end of summer, also says end of its seasonal fruits. So what a better way to take advantage of this late season to eat one last time some blueberries. Blueberries was not necessarily a fruit that I liked when I arrived in Quebec. But I learned to tame it, like in this delicious blueberries and mascarpone cake. There is no butter in this recipe. It will be replace by the mascarpone, this will allow the cake to be really moist. You need to tell me about it when you will try it!
A few words about the recipe
Eggs and sugar: Whisk them at high speed until they turn white and double in size.
Mascarpone: you will need to lightly worked the mascarpone to relax it a little bit before adding it to the mixture of eggs and sugar. Do this using a fork.
Blueberries: coat them with a little bit of flour, this will help the blueberries not to fall to the bottom of the cake batter. When you add them to the cake batter, turn them only two or three times when mixing to avoid removing all the flour.
Fermented milk: you can easily make this by adding 2 tbsp of lemon or vinegar to 100 ml of milk. Besides, you can find another of my recipe with fermented milk here.
The size of my loaf pan is: 9 » x 5 »
You will find all the measures in cups and oz on the recipe notes.
