Blueberry Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf Cake

Soft and moist cake made with blueberries, Meyer lemon juice, zest, and Greek yogurt will put you to a great start in the morning or accompany that afternoon tea/coffee snack.

Blueberry Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf Cake

I have lots of freshly squeezed lemon juice in my fridge and I’m trying to incorporate it into my baking. Our family loves this blueberry lemon Greek yogurt loaf cake for breakfast. I couldn’t be happier to make it too. It’s so easy to put together and it’s so yummy and light.

Why you’ll love this recipe

1. Soft and moist texture
The cake has a soft and moist texture. It’s kinda a hybrid between a cake and a quickbread, but it doesn’t feel dense
2. Lemon and blueberries are match made in heaven
That lemon scent and blueberries go incredibly well in this cake
3. The right amount of sweetness
Though this is called a cake, it’s not cloyingly sweet. It is very lightly sweetened and the burst of slightly tart blueberries complement it well
4. Have I mentioned “easy”?
You don’t need a mixer or any special kitchen gadget, well, a digital kitchen scale will help your baking a lot with a precise measurement, but other than that, you just need a mixing bowl, spatula, a loaf pan, and a parchment paper

Ingredients

Wet ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp lemon zest from 2 lemons
  • 30 g lemon juice
  • 100 g sugar
  • 120 g oil I used avocado oil
  • ¾ tsp vanilla extract
  • 100 g eggs room temperature, from 2 large eggs
  • 120 g whole milk Greek yogurt room temperature

Dry ingredients:

  • 195 g cake flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

To fold in:

  • 150 g blueberries fresh or frozen

For toppings:

  • 50 g blueberries fresh or frozen, see notes
  • Turbinado sugar as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) for conventional oven, 330 F (165 C) for convection oven
  • Line 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan with parchment paper, overhanging on the side for easier removal later

Prepare the cake batter:

  • Get the eggs, lemon juice (if it has been refrigerated), and Greek yogurt from the fridge to let them come to a room temperature, about 30 minutes or so
  • If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw
  • Combine all the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl and use a whisk to combine.
  • Sift in cake flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Use a rubber spatula and use a cutting motion to cut into the middle of the batter and fold over to combine the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Turn the bowl each time with your other hand as you fold so they mix evenly without overmixing.
  • When they are about 80% mixed, add the blueberries and continue to fold the mixture. The batter is thick and lumpy. Stop mixing if you no longer see any more loose bits of flour.
  • Scoop the batter into the loaf pan and use the rubber spatula to smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any trapped air bubbles. Sprinkle with the rest of the blueberries and turbinado sugar evenly on top of the batter

Baking:

  • Put the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean with a few sticky crumbs is okay as long as it's not wet
  • Remove from the oven and put on top of a cooling rack. Let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes and then grab the parchment paper and remove from the pan to a cooling rack to let it cool down completely before serving

Serving:

  • Serve as is. They taste even better the next day as the cake is so much more flavorful and moist

Storage:

  • Store them in an air-tight container for 2-3 days. They can also be kept frozen for longer storage. Cut them into individual serving slices. Put them on a baking pan lined with a parchment paper and flash freeze for 30 minutes in the freezer. Transfer into a freezer bag or freezer-friendly container and they won't stick to each other anymore. They can be kept frozen for up to one month for the best result. Simply thaw at room temperature before serving

Marv’s Recipe Notes

You can also use other types of berries. I mixed in a bit of small sour cherries too. If any fruits that you want to use are larger than the size of blueberries, cut them into smaller pieces.
