  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp. Lemon zest 2 lemons
  • 3/4 plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Bertolli extra light olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9" inch bundt cake.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, add the sugar and lemon zest. Use your fingers to blend the sugar and lemon zest together. This flavours the sugar and gives the entire snacking cake a delicious lemony sugar balance of flavour.
  4. Add the yogurt, olive oil, eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in blueberries
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared bundt cake baking pan.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
Lemon Glaze:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
  3. Place in a covered cake dish and enjoy with a tea or coffee.
