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.

    Made this cake a few times now - it's very quick to prepare; I made it with an hour and a half to spare before a birthday party. Went down a treat. Very moist and flavoursome - a winner!

    I have made this lovely tea time treat several times and it has replaced the old lemon drizzle cake as a favourite.

    I used gluten free flour so I could eat it as well. It was delicous and no one noticed!

    Gorgeously summery, made it without the lemon curd but does need longer to cook than stated, well worth it though.

    I added lemon extract instead of the juice & zest, natural yoghurt instead of greek, lemon marmalade instead of curd and a mixture of raspberries and blueberries as this was what all I had in. It was still perfect :-)

    Really lovely moist cake which was a real winner when I took it to work. Because the blueberries sink to the bottom I turn the cake out of the tin and ice the bottom that way the blueberries are back at the top!

    Lovely easy cake, although all the blueberries went to the bottom. Dusted with icing sugar instead of making icing. Very nice served with the extra yoghurt, and lemon curd.

    This cake is devine... chucked the whole lot in the food processor (except blueberries!) with normal yogurt and orange zest instead of lemon - Came out lovely, fluffy and has stayed really moist for 5 days. As per above comment - just topped off with normal lemon drizzle icing - is all thats needed.... highly recommended!

    Made this tonight in a bit of a hurry and it turned out delicious.... had to cook it for over one and a half hours and I added the whole of the lemon juice to cake mixture by mistake but it turned out fine. My blueberries stayed where they were supposed to. I'm not a cake expert but only thing I did different (apart from lemon juice) was I creamed butter and sugar then added eggs one at a time then flour and rest of ingredients. Would that have made a difference? Definitely going to make this again and again.

    Even nicer if you make holes in the cake, drizzle the icing in and serve it sticky! Went down well cut into pieces at a street party.
