Ingredients
  

  • 300 g self-raising flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 100 g golden caster sugar
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 150 ml low fat Greek yogurt
  • 80 ml vegetable oil
  • 80 ml lemon juice
  • 150 g Blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (Fan) and grease a 24.5cm x 14.8cm (8” x 5”) loaf tin.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, bicarbonate of soda, caster sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk the eggs, yogurt, vegetable oil, and lemon juice together in a separate smaller bowl.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold them together using a spatula.
  5. Toss the blueberries with plain flour in a small bowl, then fold them into the cake batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until risen and golden brown.
  7. Insert a wooden skewer or cocktail stick into the center to check for doneness; if it comes out clean, remove the loaf from the oven.
  8. Let the cake cool slightly in the tin before transferring it to a wire rack.
  9. Cut into 15 slices and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I love using golden caster sugar for that slight caramel note, but regular white sugar works perfectly if that is what you have in your pantry.
