INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1/2 cup vanilla or lemon yogurt
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 cup fresh blueberries
Topping:
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. butter, room temperature
Drop of lemon or vanilla extract (optional)
STEP BY STEP:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray bottom of 9-inch spring-form pan with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate larger bowl, beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg. Stir in vanilla, yogurt, and lemon peel. Stir in flour only until blended.
Remove 1 cup of the batter and set aside.
Use a spatula to spread remaining batter evenly in prepared pan.
Into the 1 cup of batter, gently stir blueberries.
Spread this as a top layer over the batter in the pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the center of cake springs back when lightly touched and the cake is golden brown.
Do not open oven until at least 35 minutes have passed.
Cool on a wire rack.
When cake has cooled for 5 minutes, run a blunt knife along edges of pan to free cake; remove from pan and allow to cool completely.
To make glaze, combine confectioners sugar, lemon juice and softened butter (a drop of vanilla or lemon extract may be added for extra flavor).
Drizzle over cooled cake.
Variation: This same batter can be used for muffins.
Bake muffins for about 20-22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
