Ingredients

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing with blueberries)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (for glaze)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest, rubbing the zest into the sugar.
  4. Add Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs, lemon juice, and vegetable oil to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.
  5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the blueberries that have been tossed in flour.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Whisk together glaze ingredients for drizzling once the cake is cool.

Notes

Using fresh lemons and blueberries enhances the flavors. Let the cake cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
