In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients, except the blueberries, together until fully incorporated. Stir through the blueberries and pour the batter into the prepared pan and place into your bread maker. Set the bread maker to bake only for 50 minutes.

Once baked allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
