Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon plain flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest and a teaspoon of lemon juice (approximately 2 lemons)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen, thawed and rinsed
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees c. Grease bottom and sides of one 9 x 5-inch loaf pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. I prefer using a silicon mould for this cake, just ensure you adjust the time, usually takes 10 minutes less.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla and oil. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix the blueberries with the remaining tablespoon of flour, and fold them very gently into the batter. This will ensure that the colour doesnt run throughout the cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing loaf to a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
- When cake is cool, dust with icing sugar serve with fresh berries and double cream if serving as a dessert.
You can interchange the blueberries with any other berries or fruit.
