Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Yogurt Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, granulated sugar, and eggs until smooth. Gradually mix in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, ensuring the blueberries are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
