Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • baking dish (mine measures 25×11 cm (10”x4”))
  • grater
  • two small bowls
  • two medium-sized bowls
  • large bowl
  • spatula
  • whisk
  • microwave (or small pot)

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
CAKE BATTER
  • 240 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp backing powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 80 grams butter
  • 110 grams white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 120 grams yoghurt
  • 180 grams blueberries
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
CRUMBLE
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 50 grams soft butter
GLAZE
  • 60 grams powdered sugar
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F)
  2. Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.
  3. Melt 80g (1/3 cup) butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan.
  4. Toss the blueberries in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour until all the blueberries are coated with flour.
  5. For the crumble, mix together in a medium-sized bowl 50g (1/4 cup) white sugar, 50g (1/4 cup)softened butter, and 100g (1/2 cup) flour until small crumbs and larger clumps form. Set aside.
  6. Zest the lemon and then halve the lemon.
  7. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt and set it aside.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, 2 eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, juice from half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
  9. Add the flour mixture and yogurt to the butter-egg mixture and mix just until they start to come together. Now add the blueberries and stir only until no flour is visible.
  10. Pour the batter into the baking pan, sprinkle the crumble over the top, and bake for 55 minutes. You can check if it’s done by inserting a clean knife or a skewer into the cake – if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Let the cake cool on a wire rack.
  11. Once the cake has cooled, in a small bowl, prepare the glaze. For this, mix 60g (0.5 cup) of powdered sugar, juice from the other half of the lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The glaze should be creamy. You can thicken it by adding more powdered sugar or thin it by adding more lemon juice or milk. Spread the glaze over the cake and let it set for a few minutes.

If you have leftovers, pour the smoothie into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. The flavors will remain fresh, but it’s normal for the smoothie to separate over time. Just give it a good shake or a quick stir before enjoying it again.
