Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) using the conventional (static) setting.
Step 2
Sift all the dry ingredients (flour, potato starch, and baking powder) together into a bowl.
Step 3
Roughly chop the dried red berries using a knife or a spice grinder.
Step 4
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar for about 5 minutes on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Step 5
While continuing to mix, gradually add the vegetable oil, orange juice, and cream cheese.
Step 6
Add the sifted dry ingredients in three separate additions. Lower the mixer speed and continue blending until the batter is smooth and all the flour has been fully incorporated.
Step 7
Toss the chopped red berries with a tablespoon of flour to coat them, then fold them into the batter.
Step 8
Grease and flour your loaf pan, then pour in the batter.
Step 9
Place two thin slivers of butter in the center of the batter, running parallel to the long side of the pan.
Step 10
Bake for approximately 40 to 50 minutes. The cake is ready when a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out mostly dry.
