Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Cake

Ingredients:

zest/juice of 2 lemons
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup unsalted butter *softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all purpose or cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries for topping!

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F and grease a 10 inch cake pan with butter, oil, or spray and set aside.

In a small bowl combine the lemon juice, zest, and the yogurt. Now in a medium sized bowl cream together the unsalted butter and sugar with an electric mixer, stand mixer or by hand and cream for 3 minutes or until fluffy and air incorporated.

In a third bowl, about medium size, sift together the dry ingredients; sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the flour mixture into the butter/sugar bowl and mix until completely combined and no flour clumps are apparent. Now, fold the yogurt/lemon mix into this flour mixture and the batter is done!

Pour evenly into the pre-prepared cake pan and top with blueberries all around.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick or knife comes out clean from the centre of the cake.

Dust with powdered sugar, slice, serve and enjoy!
