Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Loaf

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, add the blueberries and one tablespoon all-purpose flour, stir gently to coat the blueberries and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, place the granulated sugar and with your fingers, rub in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to release the oils.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Mix in vanilla and lemon juice.

Step 7

With the mixer off, add in 1 cup all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 8

Turn mixer on low and mix slowly while adding the Greek yogurt, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Do not over mix.

Step 9

With a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold in the blueberry mixture and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon zest with as few turns as possible.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Make the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice.

Step 13

Pour over the cooled cake, slice and serve
