Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Beat first 3 ingredients in a mixer at medium speed until well-blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
  3. In a small bowl, measure the 3 cups of flour. Remove 2 Tbsp and sprinkle over the blueberries, gently stirring and tossing to coat.
  4. Combine remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with yogurt, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  5. Fold in blueberry mixture. Pour cake batter into a bundt pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  6. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan. Let cake cool completely.
  7. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl; drizzle over warm cake. Cut with a serrated knife.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If it lasts longer, refrigerate it to maintain freshness.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze slices of the cake for up to three months. Wrap them well in plastic wrap and foil for best results.
  • Tip 3: Feel free to experiment with other fruits like raspberries or strawberries for a delightful twist on the classic.
  • Tip 4: The cake pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, enhancing the dessert experience.
  • Tip 5: For a different flavor profile, consider adding a hint of almond extract to your glaze or even a sprinkle of lemon zest on top.
