Description

This blueberry yogurt cake is moist and bursting with flavor, topped with a tangy lemon vanilla glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) Chobani Greek blueberry yogurt (other flavors such as strawberry, raspberry, or mixed berry 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
  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar (sifted)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil, lemon zest, and vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, and mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in 1 cup blueberries and gently stir to incorporate (do not thaw frozen blueberries; add them directly into the batter frozen).
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Lightly sprinkle 1/4 cup remaining blueberries over the top.
  6. Bake for 37 to 40 minutes, or until the top is domed and set or a toothpick comes out clean, and the edges of cake are just browning and beginning to slightly pull away from the sides of the pan.
  7. Allow cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before turning out to finish cooling on a rack.
  8. While cake cools, make the glaze: combine lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, and confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl and whisk until smooth, adjusting ratios for desired consistency.
  9. Drizzle glaze over the cake and serve immediately. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries bleed and run less than fresh.
  • Alternate berries or other seasonal fruit such as strawberries, peaches, pears, or plums may be substituted.
