Last week I had to prepare lunch for my son’s robotics team. I could’ve bought pizza, Chinese food, turkey wraps, burgers, tacos, or made pasta like the other parents, but being me, I couldn’t. So I made hummus, potato and herb frittata, pasta salad, cucumber salad, my father’s quick pickles, and this blueberry bundt (or as I call it, Bandit) cake..
My son didn’t think they would appreciate my homemade food, but they did. And they even love my not-so-sugary cake.
The recipe is adapted from Justine Snacks blueberry muffin recipe. I wanted to make her muffins, but I ran out of muffin liners and energy to cut baking paper into liners. So instead I made it as a bundt cake to make it more appealing to the teenagers.
I DON’T recommend making it if you’re home alone or have no self-control. I DO recommend making it if friends are coming over, if you’re trying to sell your home, or if you want to get your kids out of their rooms.
Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Equipment
- Bundt cake pan or 7 inch round cake pan
- Microplane or small grater
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup soft ghee or butter
- ½ cup cane sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar + 2 tablespoons to sprinkle over
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt - yes, that's not a mistake
- ⅓ cup milk or nut milk
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 370°F. Spray a bundt cake pan or traditional cake pan with oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ghee, cane sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add in the flours, baking powder, and salt and mix. Gradually add the milk into the batter until smooth.
- Mix in the blueberries with a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Zest the lemon over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake is set and the top is golden. (The toothpick trick won’t work here, unfortunately – you’ll run into some blueberries!) Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
