Ingredients
- nonstick vegetable oil spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 cup whole-milk French or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup non flavored oil or butter
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon extract
- Optional- 1 1/2 cups blueberries tossed in a bit of flour to incorporate without bleeding into the batter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Coat loaf pan (9x5x3 inches, 8 cup) with vegetable oil spray. Dust with flour; tap out excess.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a medium bowl.
- Using your fingers, rub sugar with lemon zest in a large bowl until incorporated. Add eggs. With a mixer, mix until very foamy and pale yellow, a few minutes.
- Add yogurt, oil or butter, lemon extract and vanilla extract whisk to blend.
- Fold in dry ingredients just to blend. Do not overmix.
- If adding blueberries toss and fold in now
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan; smooth top. Bake until top of cake is golden brown and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50–60 minutes.
- Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. If desired, brush the top with melted butter and dust with granulated sugar. Invert onto rack; let cool an additional 15 minutes. Enjoy!
