Ingredients
200g Unsalted Butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
200g Caster Sugar
3 Eggs, at room temperature
175g Self-raising Flour
25g Cornflour
100g Asda Greek Style Yogurt
1 Lemon, Zest Only
200g Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
100g Icing Sugar, For The Icing
40g Blueberries (fresh or frozen and defrosted), For The Icing
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Grease a 900g loaf tin and line with baking paper.
2
Put the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Tip in both flours and mix well, then fold in the yoghurt, lemon zest and three-quarters of the blueberries.
3
Pour the batter into the cake tin and press the remaining blueberries into the top of the mixture. Bake for 1 hr–1 hr 10 mins (cover with foil if it starts to brown too much), until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool completely in the tin.
4
Meanwhile make the glaze by putting the icing sugar and blueberries into a small blender or processor and blitz to a smooth icing. To serve, remove the cake from the tin and drizzle over the icing and add a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
