How to Make Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 4 large eggs and 1 large egg white, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this flour mixture.
  5. Gradually add the remaining flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup plain yogurt and mix until well incorporated.
  7. In a small bowl, toss 2 cups fresh blueberries with the reserved 2 tablespoons of flour until lightly coated.
  8. Gently fold the blueberries and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the batter. Avoid overmixing.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cake cools, whisk together ¼ cup lemon juice and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and syrupy.
  12. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled cake.
