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
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Step 6
Served sliced.

Love this cake. Make it at least weekly and vary it by using flavoured yoghurt with different fruit and sultanas. Family favourite.
