Ingredients: 

For the Blueberry Lemon Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

For the Lemon Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Greek yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Fold in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Lemon Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.

Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the cake.

Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
