Blueberry Lemon Curd Cake Ingredients
This is a list of ingredients you will need to make this cake. The exact measurements are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Butter
- Greek yogurt
- Lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
- Large eggs
- Lemon for juice and zest
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Granulated sugar
- Fresh or frozen blueberries
The glaze is made with a combination of fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar. It couldn’t be easier.
How to Make Blueberry Lemon Curd Cake
Preheat the oven to 350° and butter a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
Step 1: Mix the batter
In a large mixing bowl add Greek yogurt, lemon curd, softened butter, eggs, lemon zest, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Quickly mix the batter until it just comes together.
Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour.
Step 2: Fill the loaf pan
Scrape half of the batter into the prepared pan. Layer 1/2 cup blueberries over the batter. Add the remaining batter evenly over the blueberries. Finally, top with the remaining 1/2 cup of blueberries.
Step 3: Bake
Bake for 70 – 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Lemon Glaze Icing
The icing is optional, but pretty and adds a deliciously sweet finish to this summery loaf cake.
To make the lemon glaze, combine the juice from 1 lemon with 1 to 2 cups of powdered sugar, or until desired consistency is reached. I like mine on the thinner side.
Drizzle the icing over the top of the cooled Blueberry Lemon Curd cake.
Garnishing the Loaf Cake
Although it’s perfectly delicious sliced and served, if you want to garnish this cake, you can add lemon zest and slices of fresh lemons and scatter a few fresh blueberries on top too.
