Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt, at room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (rinsed and patted dry)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients and Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Gather all ingredients and rinse blueberries carefully, patting them dry to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional lemon zest until well combined. This ensures your rising agents and flavors are evenly distributed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This creates the flavorful base for your cake.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender and soft.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them and stain the batter excessively.
  6. Bake the Cake: Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender; stir just until combined.
  • Bring eggs and yogurt to room temperature before mixing for a consistent texture.
  • Toss blueberries in a bit of flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure even baking.
  • Substitute fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries if desired.
  • Use gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for gluten-free version.
  • Reduce sugar or use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for lighter sweetness.
  • Replace yogurt with coconut or plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option.
  • Add spices like cinnamon or cardamom to the batter for warm flavor.
  • Optional add-ins: chopped nuts or chocolate chips folded in with blueberries.
