Lemon, Blueberry & Yoghurt Muffin Bread

July 22, 2013 By Kerry Cooks 13 Comments

IMG_0896

I made this lemon and blueberry cake for my workmates to alleviate my guilt at leaving them – you see, I have a new job! And while it’s hopefully a great move for me, career wise, I’ll really miss all my old workmates. It definitely managed to cheer us all up on a Monday –  its a lovely, bright and sunny cake, with a very light crumb – delicious!

The yoghurt in this cake helps with its light and moist-ness. I used Chobani natural yoghurt, which is a new brand that I’m loving right now, but any thick greek style yoghurt will work.

This cake is especially perfect for the summertime, and for bringing along to picnics, parties or bbqs!

Does this look wrong?
For the cake
  1. 250g very soft unsalted butter
  2. 250g golden caster sugar
  3. 4 eggs
  4. 250g self raising flour
  5. zest and juice of 2 lemons
  6. 3 tbsp lemon curd
  7. 100g greek yoghurt
  8. 100g blueberries
For the topping
  1. 6 tbsp icing sugar
  2. 2 tbsp lemon juice
  3. blueberries
For the cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 160C/gas 3/350F and prepare a loaf tin - this mix is very light so lining the tin with parchment paper is definitely advisable.
  2. In a stand mixer, mix your soft butter and caster sugar for 5 minutes until the mixture is very soft and fluffy. Add the eggs, mixing well, and then add the lemon juice and zest, plus the lemon curd and yoghurt. Sieve in the flour.
  3. In a greased loaf tin, layer the base with half of the mix, and then scatter the blueberries on top, before adding the second half of the mix.
  4. Bake for 60 - 70 minutes in the middle of your oven, removing from the oven once the top is golden, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
For the topping
  1. Mix the icing sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over the cake while its still warm. Add the blueberries.

    Hi Kerry – I’m thinking of making this for Macmillian Coffee Morning at work next week. I don’t have a loaf tin so will need to get one, what sort of size did you use? I’m seeing 1lb and 2lb as common sizes available online.

      Hmm, I’ve only ever seen loaf tins in one size – it’s fairly small so I’m guessing 1 lb?

        No worries, I’ll get 1lb and if there’s too much mixture then I can just make two loaves πŸ™‚

          Good idea! I’m sure it must be 1lb, it’s about 3.5 inches wide. If there’s a bit more you could make muffins too πŸ™‚

            After looking over the quantities for the ingredients and looking at the sizes of the tins in Asda, I wasn’t convinced that a 1lb tin would be big enough so I bought a 2lb as well! Good job, as it turned out that 2lb was the right size. I might keep the 1lb tin anyway, or as I haven’t removed any of the packaging I might take it back for a refund.

            This took maybe another 10-15 minutes over the 70 to bake for me. It is a very moist cake, so maybe I was too cautious about whether it was done or not. It’s a little darker on top than I would have liked, but it’s perfect in the middle. I loved it, so rich and moist but not too heavy. Good reviews from colleagues too!

    That looks really good and, given that I’m in the same situation as you job wise, maybe I should keep the theme and make one too. I was wondering what to make them as a goodbye. Isn’t it weird being excited about a new job but sad to leave an old one?
