Equipment

  • loaf pan
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour divided
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest divided, from about 2 medium lemons
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice from about ½ one medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup cake flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt

Glaze

  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar sifted to remove clumps
  • 2–4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice from about 1 medium lemon

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray then line with parchment paper, allowing some parchment overhang. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add the blueberries and one tablespoon all-purpose flour, stir gently to coat the blueberries and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, place the granulated sugar and with your fingers, rub in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to release the oils.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, add the butter and lemon sugar, beating on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add eggs one at a time, allowing each to incorporate fully before adding the next. Once all are incorporated, beat on medium speed for 1 minute until light in color.
  • Mix in vanilla and lemon juice.
  • With the mixer off, add in 1 cup all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Turn mixer on low and mix slowly while adding the Greek yogurt, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Do not over mix.
  • With a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold in the blueberry mixture and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon zest with as few turns as possible.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes then cover loosely with foil to prevent the top from over browning and bake for another 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang and allow to cool on a wire rack until completely cool.
  • Make the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice.
  • Pour over the cooled cake, slice and serve.
