Description
A delicious and moist blueberry yogurt cake perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) plain yogurt
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being mindful not to break them apart too much.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the cake and serve it on a plate. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with additional blueberries for a beautiful presentation.
- This cake is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack. Enjoy the light, fluffy texture and the delightful bursts of blueberry flavor!
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the cake from turning blue.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
