Instructions

  3. Combine, yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice and set aside.

  4. Whisk cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside

  5. Beat the soften butter and sugar together until well mixed. (I like using a hand mixer)

  6. Add the vanilla. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing after each add.

  7. Don't over-mix the batter.

  8. Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture. Add the yogurt mixture.

  9. Gently mix the above ingredients until just combined.

  10. Add the blueberries and fold them into the mixture.

  11. Gently fold berries by hand to avoid crushing the berries.

  12. Spoon the batter into the well-greased Bundt pan,.

  13. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until golden brown.

  14. Use a cake tester or skewer to test for doneness.

  16. Top with lemon flavored glaze, optional. I paired slices with a scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream.

For the Glaze (optional)

  1. Whisk all ingredients together. Add more sugar to thicken, or more lemon juice to thin to desired consistency.
