Sticky lemon curd &


         blueberry cake



    Ingredients                                          Method



      170 grams butter, softened
      120 grams caster sugar                              Pre-heat the oven to 320F/160C and line a loaf
      3 eggs                                              tin (I used a 9 x 5 inch tin similar to this one)
      100 grams Greek yoghurt, plus extra to              with baking paper.
      serve                                               Cream together the butter and sugar with a
      200 grams self-raising flour                        handheld mixer or a wooden spoon. Whisk in
      Zest and juice of 1 lemon                           the eggs one by one, then stir in the yoghurt.
      2 to 3 tablespoons lemon curd plus                  Fold through the flour, then stir in the lemon
      extra to serve                                      zest and juice.
      120 grams blueberries
                                                          Roll most of the blueberries lightly in flour (this
                                                          stops them from sinking).

                                                          Pour a layer of cake batter into the prepared
                                                          baking tin, then dollop and slightly swirl some
                                                          of the lemon curd over it. Scatter some of the
                                                          blueberries on top, then pour in the rest of the
                                                          batter. Finally, dot the rest of the lemon curd
                                                          on top and swirl it a little again and lightly press
                                                          in the rest of the floured blueberries.

                                                          Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes
                                                          or until it is golden and a skewer pushed into
                                                          the centre comes out clean.

                                                          Cool the cake in the tin for a while, then lift
                                                          onto a cooling rack. Serve when the cake is still
                                                          slightly warm with a dollop of Greek yoghurt
                                                          and reserved blueberries on top.
