Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 units Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cups Water
• 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice (for sauce)
• 0.33 cups Granulated sugar (for sauce)
• 1 teaspoons Lemon zest (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the Greek yogurt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the powdered sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

Step 10

Add the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and lemon zest to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Let the lemon sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Slice the cooled lemon blueberry cake and drizzle generously with the warm lemon sauce. Serve and enjoy!
