Lemon Blueberry Olive Oil Greek Yogurt Cake

This recipe is exactly the same as my Lemon Olive Oil Greek Yogurt Cake…except I’ve now changed the entire thing.

I’ve added blueberries.

No, I really didn’t need an entire post to tell you that I’ve added blueberries, but it was so good I couldn’t help but photograph it all over again!

Lemon Blueberry Olive Oil Greek Yogurt Cake

This moist cake is made with 2 cups of plain greek yogurt, lemon zest, blueberries, and olive oil, then topped with a light lemon glaze.

Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or if you’re me, dinner.

For the cake
  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tbsp baking powder
  3. ½ tsp kosher salt
  4. 2 cups plain greek yogurt
  5. 3 eggs
  6. 1 tbsp grated lemon zest
  7. 1 cup blueberries
  8. ½ cup olive oil
  9. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  10. 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the lemon glaze
  1. 1 cup powdered sugar
  2. 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
For the cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil, lemon zest, yogurt, and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, gently fold in the blueberries, then pour into lightly greased loaf pan.
  3. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
For the glaze
  1. Combine the sugar and lemon juice with a fork, and then drizzle over cake. Allow glaze to harden before serving.
Notes
  1. This recipe does yield a rather large cake, so I used my 9x5 loaf pan. You can always make two smaller loaves!

    This looks super Jasmine– but even more your photos are exquisite! — and I don’t think it’s wrong to rework and resend a recipe– sometimes really great recipes slip down into the archives and should be brought to our attention again so we’ll give them a try! –like this amazing cake. Happy weekend –hope it’s going well!! xox

    This looks really wonderful. I love that there’s a mixture of lemon and blueberry on this recipe. I love berries as its a wonderful fiber that helps me with my digestion. I shall try this recipe over the weekend.
