Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 350°F. Wash and dry Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. (NOTE: If you don’t have a loaf pan, use an 8x8-inch parchment-lined baking dish). Set aside. Zest, then juice lemon. Whisk together egg, blueberry jam, lemon juice, 2 tbsp oil and 3/4 cup sugar in a large bowl. Add sour cream, 1/2 cup milk, half the lemon zest, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Whisk to combine. (NOTE: Your egg mixture may look curdled, that’s okay! The mixture will come together when the flour is added.)
Slowly add flour to the large bowl with egg mixture. Whisk until just combined. (NOTE: Don’t over-mix the batter; this takes the air out, resulting in a denser cake!)
Transfer cake mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 45-50 min (25-30 min for an 8x8-inch baking dish). At the 45 min mark, insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue baking for another 5 min.
When cake is cooked through, carefully remove from the oven and set aside to cool, 10 min. Remove cake from the loaf pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool, 1 hr. Just before serving, add cream, remaining lemon zest and remaining sugar to a medium bowl. Using a whisk or electric beater, whisk until stiff peaks form, 1-3 min. Cut cake into slices. Dollop whipped cream over top.
