How to Make Not So Healthy Healthier Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Using an electric mixer on low speed, mix for 1 minute to combine dry ingredients.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon extract.
  6. Add ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and half of the egg mixture to the flour mixture.
  7. Mix on high speed for 1 minute.
  8. Add the remaining egg mixture in two batches, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition. The batter should be light and fluffy.
  9. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries.
  10. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  11. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Add 7-10 minutes baking time if using frozen blueberries).

  13. Let rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
  14. Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
