Ingredients
- 250 g (2 cups) All-Purpose Flour
- 200 g (1 cup) Granulated Sugar
- 240 g (1 cup) Plain Yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 ml (½ cup) Vegetable Oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 150 g (1 cup) Blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, yogurt, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough texture.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even blending.
- To prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter.
- If the cake browns too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
- For extra flavor, brush the cooled cake with a simple lemon syrup.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
