PREPARATIONS

grater
two small bowls
two medium-sized bowls
large bowl

microwave (or small pot)

Toss the blueberries in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour until all the blueberries are coated with flour.

ACTIVE: 10 min

PASSIVE: 60 min

COOKING

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt and set it aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, 2 eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, juice from half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
