Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup (200 gr) sugar
Zest and juice of 2 lemons (about 1/3 cup juice)
8 oz (225 gr) plain Greek yogurt
4 oz (115 gr) butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (240 gr) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 oz (170 gr) blueberries
Powdered sugar, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 1-pound loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and well combined using a whisk or hand mixer.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Sift in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently mix until just combined without overmixing.
- Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Add a few extra blueberries on top if desired.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before sprinkling with powdered sugar. Slice and serve.
Notes
Toss blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking.
Frozen blueberries can be used; add them directly without thawing.
Substitute blueberries with raspberries or chopped strawberries for variation.
Add a lemon glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice for extra citrus flavor.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
