Blueberry cake with Greek lemon yogurt frosting

I had some blueberries in my fridge and I decided to make something sweet with them. Cake for breakfast or in the afternoon with cup of tea, coffee and maybe glass of milk for youngest one. My little boy adore blueberries! He love this cake as his father πŸ˜‰ Anyway, here is the recipe for lovely Blueberry cake:

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp butter or 1/4 cup of oil
  • 1/2 cup of  brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • 1 tsp of ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp of vanilla 
  • 1 cup of blueberries
Strudel topping:
  • 1/2 cup of ground nuts
  • 1/3 cup of brown sugar
  • mix it together, set a side
Frosting: 
  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup of confectionares sugar
  • 1 tsp of lemon zest or if you like it can be orange zest, lime zest..
Blueberries are optional, you can make a cake without them and add them when serving the cake. Lemon Greek yogurt is optional too, but I like the blend of the cake and freshness from the frosting!

Preheat the oven on 425 degrees.
In mixing bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt. At the end add milk, eggs, butter or oil, vanilla. If you are putting the blueberries in the batter then add them on the end when you mix well other ingredients.

I use the medium cheesecake pan with spring form. Oil the pan on the bottom and on the side all the way up. Sprinkle with flour all around to make nonstick coat.

Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle it with strudel topping. Bake the cake for 45 min. You will see when the cake is done. The cake  edges will separate from the sides of pan and the cake will rise and be golden. You can use the long toothpick, wooden skewers  to see is it done, when you pike the cake you can see if there is unbaked batter on the skewers. If there is batter then you need to bake the cake more. 

The cake needs to be completely cool.

Mix together 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of confectionares sugar and lemon zest. Mix it with a spoon not with mixer. The frosting need to be in the fridge.

When you serve the cake, pour the Greek lemon yogurt frosting on the top of the piece. You can sprinkle with lime zest and add more blueberries on the top for nicer appear.

Enjoy πŸ‘„πŸ’“
