Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon for coating berries
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt provides moisture
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries fresh or frozen
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice for syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for syrup
  • 1 cup icing sugar for glaze
  • ¼ cup lemon juice for glaze

Equipment

  • 1 Loaf pan 8.5x4.5 inches
  • 2 Mixing bowls one for wet, one for dry
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 skewer to poke holes

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix the yogurt, sugar, eggs, and zest in a separate container.
  2. Toss the blueberries in flour to prevent sinking and gently fold them into the finished batter using a spatula.
  3. Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350℉ until an inserted skewer comes out clean without sticky crumbs.
  4. Poke holes in the warm cake to allow the lemon syrup to soak deeply into the crumb for maximum moisture.

Notes

Tossing the berries in flour before folding them into the batter prevents them from sinking to the bottom. For a more intense citrus aroma, rub the lemon zest into the sugar before adding wet ingredients.
