The Recipe
Ingredients

- 200 g (about 1 1/2 cups) fresh blueberries

Instructions
- Grease a small loaf pan (25×11 cm) and dust with flour. Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F) with convection.

- Cream together butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in quark and lemon juice.
- Combine flour and baking powder, then fold into the mixture.
