Description
This blueberry yogurt cake is a deliciously moist dessert, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (8 ounces) Chobani Greek blueberry yogurt (other flavors may be substituted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups frozen blueberries (divided; fresh may be substituted)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar (sifted)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9-by-9-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil, lemon zest, and vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and mix until just combined.
- Fold in 1 cup blueberries and gently stir to incorporate. (Frozen blueberries bleed and run less than fresh; add them directly into the batter frozen.)
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Lightly sprinkle 1/4 cup remaining blueberries over the top.
- Bake for 37 to 40 minutes, or until top is domed and set or a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before turning out to finish cooling on a rack.
- While cake cools, make the glaze.
- In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, and confectioners’ sugar, and whisk until smooth. Adjust lemon juice and sugar ratios until desired glaze consistency is reached.
- Drizzle glaze over cake and serve immediately. Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries are recommended as they do not bleed as much into the batter compared to fresh.
- Alternate berries or other seasonal fruits such as strawberries, peaches, pears, or plums may be used.
- Adjust glaze to taste by modifying the ratio of lemon juice to sugar.
