Ingredients
- 170 grams (.75 cups or 6 ounces) butter softened to room temperature
- 130 grams (or .65 cups) caster sugar = superfine sugar, or just use regular white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 115 grams (4 ounces) Greek yogurt plus extra to serve
- 200 grams (1.6 cups) self-raising flour Or use plain/all-purpose flour with 1¼ teaspoons baking powder and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- 1 lemon (zest and juice) small to medium (you should have about 2 tablespoons juice)
- 4 tablespoons lemon curd plus extra to serve (if you like)
- 120 grams (4.25 ounces) fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 320F/160C and line a loaf pan (roughly 9 x 5 inches or 10 x 4 inches, or equivalent) with baking paper.
- Cream together the butter and sugar with a handheld mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Whisk in the eggs one by one on a low speed until well combined. Then stir in the yogurt.
- Fold through the flour until just combined, then stir in the lemon zest and juice. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll most of the blueberries lightly in flour (this stops them from sinking). Save a few for serving with the baked cake.
- Spoon and level half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Then spoon and slightly swirl around half of the lemon curd over it. Scatter some of the blueberries on top.
- Now spoon in and level the rest of the batter. Dot the rest of the lemon curd on top and swirl it a little again, then lightly press in the rest of the floured blueberries.
- Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until it is golden and a skewer pushed into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the tin for about 10 minutes, then lift onto a cooling rack. Serve when the cake is still slightly warm with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, creme fraiche, ice cream or whipped cream. Add the reserved blueberries on top (and a little more lemon curd if you wish).
