Ingredients
Loaf Cake:
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 cup blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour)
Lemon Glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ½ tsp lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients:
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
3️⃣ Whisk Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
4️⃣ Combine:
Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
5️⃣ Fold in Blueberries:
Gently fold in floured blueberries with a spatula to keep them from sinking.
6️⃣ Bake:
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7️⃣ Cool:
Let loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
8️⃣ Make Glaze:
Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaf and garnish with zest, if desired.
