Method

  1. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a 2lb loaf tin and line with a long strip of baking parchment. Put 100g yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon curd, the softened butter, eggs, lemon zest, flour and caster sugar into a large mixing bowl. Quickly mix with an electric whisk until the batter just comes together. Scrape half into the prepared tin. Weigh 85g blueberries from the punnet and sprinkle half into the tin, scrape the rest of the batter on top, then scatter the other half of the 85g berries on top. Bake for 1 hr 10 mins-1 hr 15 mins until golden, and a skewer poked into the centre comes out clean.
  2. Cool in the tin, then carefully lift onto a serving plate to ice. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in enough lemon juice to make a thick, smooth icing. Spread over the top of the cake, then decorate with lemon zest and edible flowers, if you like. Serve in slices with extra lemon curd, Greek yogurt and blueberries.

    I have made this cake several times now - it's so good and very straightforward to make. I added half the juice of the lemon to the cake mixture by mistake once and now do it each time as it makes it really moist A definate winner!

    Have made this several times, it's a really lovely cake, I find that it doesn't need the yoghurt to serve. Also tried it with a lemon juice & sugar topping (as in lemon drizzle cake) to take out walking to prevent sticky situations with the icing! Also have changed blueberries for raspberries on one occasion, which was also good.

    Really nice. All the blueberries ended up at the bottom of the cake. Think I might try and make at blueberry coulis to go with the greek yoghurt and lemoncurd next time.

    This is a wonderful cake and really terrific when served with the lemon curd and yogurt. I took it on a picnic and it was a great end to the day as the sun went down.

    In the list of ingredients it says 'zest and juice of 1 lemon', but in the recipe you don't use the juice. Have you all just put the juice in there as well?
