Ingredients

For the loaf:

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) plain or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (115g) olive oil
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking)

Optional glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Oil and Sugar:
    In a large bowl, beat the oil and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is key to ensuring a tender loaf.
  4. Add the Wet Ingredients:
    Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Then mix in the yogurt until smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine and Fold:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Glaze (Optional):
    Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over the top for a tangy glaze.

Tips

  • Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries work well, but be sure to toss them in flour to keep them evenly distributed throughout the cake.
  • Yogurt Substitute: If you don’t have yogurt on hand, sour cream is a great alternative.
  • Storage: Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
