Ingredients:
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blueberries:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, don’t thaw)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8×8-inch square pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, Greek yoghurt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix.
-
Gently fold in the blueberries.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Tips:
- Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both work great! If using frozen, don’t thaw them, as thawing releases extra juices that could change the cake’s consistency.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough.
- Yoghurt Choice: For a richer cake, use full-fat Greek yoghurt.
- Variations: Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a touch of lemon zest to the batter.
