Ingredients

1 cup plain or Greek yogurt
-
¾ cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs
-
½ cup vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower)

2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
Follow these step-by-step directions for the perfect Blueberry Yogurt Cake:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round 9-inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
-
Add oil, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.
-
In a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking powder, then add gradually to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
-
Coat the blueberries with 1 teaspoon of flour and gently fold them into the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
-
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
