A really easy cake -perfect for baking with the kids.
Ingredients:
175g softened butter, plus extra for greasing
100ml Greek Yoghurt
2tbsp lemon curd
3 eggs
zest and juice of 1 lemon plus extra zest to serve if you like
200g self raising flour

100g blueberries
140g icing sugar
Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a 2lb loaf tin and line with a long strip of baking parchment. Put 100g yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon curd, the softened butter, eggs, lemon zest, flour and caster sugar into a large mixing bowl. Quickly mix with an electric whisk until the batter just comes together. Scrape half into the prepared tin. Sprinkle half the blueberries into the tin, scrape the rest of the batter on top, then scatter the other half of the berries on top. Bake for 1 hr 10 mins-1 hr 15 mins until golden, and a skewer poked into the centre comes out clean.

This was a recipe that I was sent by a mum from school on a recipe exchange email. It was quick and easy to make and was very tasty. We all really enjoyed it and was demolished very quickly 🙂
