BLUEBERRY LEMON COFFEE CAKE 
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1/2 cup vanilla or lemon yogurt
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 cup fresh blueberries

Topping:

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. butter, room temperature
drop of lemon or vanilla extract (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Spray bottom of 9-inch spring-form pan with non-stick spray.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate larger bowl, beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg. Stir in vanilla, yogurt, and lemon peel. Stir in flour only until blended.

Remove 1 cup of the batter and set aside. Use a spatula to spread remaining batter evenly in prepared pan.

Into the 1 cup of batter, gently stir blueberries. Spread this as a top layer over the batter in the pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the center of cake springs back when lightly touched and the cake is golden brown. Do not open oven until at least 35 minutes have passed.

Cool on a wire rack. When cake has cooled for 5 minutes, run a blunt knife along edges of pan to free cake; remove from pan and allow to cool completely.

To make glaze, combine confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and softened butter (a drop of vanilla or lemon extract may be added for extra flavor). Drizzle over cooled cake.

Variation: This same batter can be used for muffins. Bake muffins for about 20-22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Can this be frozen?

Hi Vivianne,

This cake freezes well. You can double the recipe and make two 9-inch cakes and freeze one. Be sure to double-wrap well excluding all air.

THIS is delicious. I decreased amount of sugar in cake mixture, added agave, used wheat flour instead. I also used plain Greek yogurt and added about 2 tsp of lemon juice for the cake mix. YUM. SO good. Thank you for this great recipe.

My husband made me this cake to take to work for the girls. It was a huge hit. Everyone commented on how it was great because it wasn't too sweet. The batter is thick so don't get worried that you did it wrong. We doubled the recipe and thought we goofed, but it was awesome.

Love this cake! I used 1/2 wheat and 1/2 white flour and added extra blueberries which worked well. Doubles well into a 9 X 13 pan.

I followed this recipe carefully. It didn't live up to the other reviews. Wouldn't make it again.
