Instructions
Creating a beautiful and delicious Lemon Blueberry Cake is made easy by following these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and homogenous.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan or pans.
7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. To ensure it’s cooked through, check that a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Optional Dusting: Once the cake is cool, you can dust it with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
These simple steps will guarantee a successful outcome, leaving you with an incredible Lemon Blueberry Cake that’s perfect for any occasion.
