Directions for Cake:

  1. Brew a pot of Door County Blueberry Coffee. Reserve 1/4 cup, plus 2 TBSP. Drink the rest.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, psyllium husk, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and buttermilk. Whisk in the olive oil, eggs, and 1/4 cup of coffee. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk until blended or mix with an electric hand mixer. Fold in the fresh blueberries
  4. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan. With a rubber spatula, scrap the bowl's sides to remove all the batter. Add half of the batter to the loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the sugar-cinnamon on top of the batter in the pan. Add the remaining batter to the loaf pan.
    Sprinkle the remaining sugar/cinnamon on top of the cake.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for approx. 45-50 minutes or until the cake is done. Test the doneness by placing a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, without batter, the cake is done. Let the cake cool slightly.
  7. Loosen the cake from the pan and cool on a rack. Drizzle the cake with sugar icing. See recipe.
