Recipe for a moist lemon cake baked with blueberries

Today, for dessert, we recommend a delicious, moist lemon blueberry cake. This cake is light and fluffy thanks to whisking eggs and sugar. Lemon juice, natural yogurt, and oil add to its moisture and ensure its long-lasting freshness. The cake with blueberries and lemon juice tastes refreshing and is perfect for both coffee and tea.

Lemon cake with oil – notes

My today’s lemon cake with oil and blueberries was made in just a dozen minutes – because that’s all it takes to prepare it. I really like recipes like this one. Very simple ingredients, quick preparation, and a WOW effect after baking. And there was a WOW effect – a huge one. I myself was surprised how moist this lemon cake is. It also tastes wonderful thanks to its light lemon aroma. Here, lemon juice doesn’t dominate the taste, but rather adds a nice freshness and aroma to the cake. For me, it’s the perfect cake! So if you like the combination of lemons and blueberries (like me), you must try this recipe! And since I really like this combination, it’s easy to see from my recipes – check out my recipe for lemon blueberry pie or lemon blueberry cheesecake – both recipes are sensational!

Ingredients and substitutes necessary for preparing lemon cake

As I mentioned earlier, only very basic and easily accessible ingredients are needed here. Below is a shortened list of products I used and possible substitutes.

• natural yogurt – I used thick Greek yogurt here; if you use thin and runny natural yogurt, you can add a little less to avoid thinning the batter too much, or use less oil
• oil – I used rapeseed oil here, but you can also use sunflower oil or melted coconut oil
• lemon juice – 60 ml of lemon juice needed for the cake batter should come from a medium, juicy lemon
• blueberries – I used fresh blueberries; if you want to make the cake with frozen blueberries, you don’t need to thaw them beforehand, and don’t mix them with the batter, just sprinkle them over a portion of the batter placed in the baking pan

In what pan to bake lemon cake?

I baked my cake in a large bundt pan with a chimney. If you don’t have such a pan, you can use a long loaf pan – but it should be about 30 cm long to fit all the batter. When baking in such a long pan, pay attention to whether the lemon cake is well baked and extend the baking time if necessary.

If you have a bundt pan with an intricate shape that has many crevices and is difficult to grease and flour, I recommend preparing a homemade pan release. You can see how I make such a release – then just pick it up with a silicone brush and thoroughly grease all the folds. For this release, you need equal parts oil, margarine, and wheat flour.

How many calories does lemon bundt cake with oil have?

In the table below the recipe, I provided the caloric value for 100 g of cake with lemon glaze. If you divide such a cake into approximately 12 roughly equal portions, a slice of cake will have about 391 kcal (carbohydrates – 54 g, fat – 17 g, protein – 7 g). If you omit the glaze on the cake, 100 g of lemon blueberry cake will have about 301 kcal (carbohydrates – 37 g, fat – 14 g, protein – 6 g). I am providing the caloric values for the products I used.

How to store lemon blueberry bundt cake?

The blueberry cake is best stored at room temperature – e.g., on the kitchen counter. To prevent it from drying out and to keep it fresh for a long time, it’s worth covering it with a cake dome or placing it in a container with a lid. If you need the cake to stay fresh for a very long time, you can store it in the refrigerator.

Lemon cake can also be frozen. Store it in the freezer for about 3 months.

I hope you enjoy this moist lemon cake with oil as much as I do :) I would be very happy if you share your impressions in the comments to the recipe.
