Ingredients
-
1½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
¾ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
-
Flour
-
Baking powder
-
Baking soda
-
Salt
-
3. Cream Butter & Sugar
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Mix in vanilla extract.
4. Add Yogurt & Dry Mix
-
Alternate adding Greek yogurt and the dry mixture, folding until just combined.
-
Gently fold in blueberries (tossed in a bit of flour to prevent sinking).
5. Bake the Cake
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
-
Sprinkle extra blueberries over the top for a beautiful presentation.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool & Finish
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
-
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired
Notes
-
This cake is slightly denser than sponge cake due to the Greek yogurt—expect a moist, almost muffin-like texture.
-
Perfect for slicing and serving with coffee or tea.
