Ingredients
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup low fat cream cheese, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tbsp)
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
  • Cooking spray
  • ½ cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 4 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a mixer until well blended, about 4-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  3. In a smaller bowl, measure 3 cups of flour. Remove 2 tbsp and sprinkle over the blueberries, gently stirring and tossing to coat.
  4. To the remaining flour in the bowl, add the baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir to combine. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture alternately with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, being careful not to over-mix. Gently, fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into a Bundt pan coated with cooking spray. Sharply tap the pan once on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  5. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Mine is perfectly done after 1 hour and 5 minutes.) Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Gently loosen cake from edge and center of pan; invert onto plate. Cool completely.
  6. Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over the cake.
  7. Cut with a serrated knife and serve. Enjoy!
