蓝莓优格牛油蛋糕 Blueberry yogurt butter cake

I am back with baking blueberry cake. This time I used yogurt to do it. This blueberry cake is special request from my son since he didn't get to help me doing the blueberry scone cake. So he wants me to do another blueberry cake with him and with his help. I am so glad he willing to help, to me is like another special moment we shared together.


This cake is also my mil's favorite cake. :) she did ash me for the recipe, but all the blogs online mainly English. She has to rely on nieces to help to translate. I was thinking of asking my hubby to help, but he always miss something in the recipes. I remembered giving him a simple recipe for apple popover since I wake up late. The recipe turns out to fail coz he missed out milk in the recipe. He watched me doing this before, but he just dun remember. We have to retry it the next day. Guess everyone has it owns strength. :)

Ingredients:
(A)
125g butter
1 cup sugar (80% filled)(about 160g-170g) - I reduced it by a couple of tablespoon sugar and it turn out just nice.
(B)
3 eggs
(C) – sift together
2 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
(D)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
(E)
1½ cups frozen blueberries (do not thaw)

Method:
1) Beat (A) till creamy and fluffy.
2) Add (B), one at a time, mix well before each addition.
3) Fold in (C) alternate with (D) in 3 to 4 additions, beat till just incorporated. Do not over mix.
4) Pour the 1/3 batter in a greased 8"x8" glassware. Arrange 1cup of blueberry on top. Do not press. Put in remaining 1/3 batter and arrange the rest of the blueberry on top. Lastly cover with the rest of the batter.
5) Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 50-60 mins or until a skewer inserted and comes out clean (mine was cooked in 60 mins). Cool on wire rack.

The cake tasted so good fresh from oven. It still taste fresh after overnight in refrigerator. What I love about this cake is it is moist, yet buttery, not too sweet. I am glad my son, my hubby, my mother in law and my best friend wai Yee loves it.
