About the bake

This blueberry and lemon loaf is a taste sensation. The sharpness of the blueberries and lemon pulls through to the sponge and is perfect for those who prefer a treat that's not too sweet.

Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4.

  2. Step 2:

    Lightly butter a 900g (23 x 13cm) loaf tin. Line the tin with baking paper making sure you have some excess paper over the sides. This makes it easier to remove the loaf from the tin.

  3. Step 3:

    Using either a hand-held or a free-standing electrical mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, yoghurt and lemon zest and juice. 

  4. Step 4:

    Add the flour and whisk until well combined. Gently fold through the blueberries and spoon into the tin.  Sprinkle over the remaining blueberries.

  5. Step 5:

    Bake for 1 hour or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. 

  6. Step 6:

    Served sliced.
