Serves: 8
What you'll need
  • 60g (1/4 cup) butter
  • 150g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 lemon - zest and juice
  • 100g (1/3 cup) natural yoghurt
  • 200g (1½ cups) self raising flour
  • 1½ cups blueberries (I used frozen)
  • Lemon Glaze
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp butter/margarine
  • 50g (1/4 cup) sugar
Instructions
  1. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and combine. Then add in yoghurt, lemon juice, zest and gently combine. Mix in the flour and gently stir. Then add blueberries. Be careful not to break them up.
  2. Pour into a lined round cake tin (I used a 20cm tin) and bake in a preheated 180C oven for at least 40-45 minutes.
  3. When the cake is nearly finished cooking combine the lemon juice, butter and sugar and heat on a low heat until sugar is disolved. Set aside.
  4. When cake is cooked in the centre remove from the oven, pour over the glaze and serve. This would be delicious as a dessert with ice cream or cream or just as an afternoon treat.
