Blueberry cake recipe

What is a birthday without a cake,right? I baked this cake a while back for my hubby's birthday. As much as I'd have loved to bake him a special cake, it has always been a flop. So thought of baking loaf cake as i had some blueberries in my fridge. To my surprise it turned out to be very moist. Do try this yummilicious cake.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour / maida
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup butter/ vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup bluberries
1/2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp lemon / orange (juice and some zest)

Method:

• First preheat the oven to 375F/ 180C and grease the pan with butter and flour or can also use parchment paper. 
• In a mixing bowl add butter / oil and sugar and beat together till creamy.
• Next mix in the eggs one at a time beating well for minute.
•  Then add the yogurt, vanilla extract and salt. Mix on low speed just until combined.
• In a separate bowl whisk flour and baking powder. Then add the flour into the batter in 2 lots whisking to incorporate between each addition. 
• Add lemon or orange zest and juice, mix again. Then take the blueberries and coat it with some flour and add into the batter.
• Give it a gentle mix.
• Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
• Sprinkle the leftover blueberries on top and use the back of the spatula to press the blueberries gently. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to sit for few minutes to cool and enjoy.
