Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan or an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, melted butter (or oil), sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries
Carefully fold in the blueberries and chopped nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.
