Lemon and Blueberry Cake (GF, low fat, reduced sugar)

Ingredients

Cake:

50g (¼ cup) brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons lemon juice
60ml (¼ cup) Greek yoghurt
60ml (¼ cup) vegetable oil
140g (1 cup + 1 tbsp) gluten free flour blend (see note 1)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (or essence)
75g (¾ cup) blueberries (I used frozen)

Glaze:

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon icing sugar

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 175°C (350ºF).
Whisk the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Add honey, lemon juice, yoghurt and oil, and beat until smooth.
Sift the flour, vanilla sugar, baking soda and baking powder together and add to the wet ingredients, stirring well. Lastly, gently stir in the blueberries.
Pour into a prepared loaf tin (mine was 25cm x 12cm) and bake for around 30-40 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the tin for a while, then turn out onto a wire rack.
While still warm, mix the sugar and lemon juice for the glaze. With a knife, gently poke holes in the top of the cake and pour the glaze over. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

The original recipe called for gluten free flour. However, if you'd like to use spelt or regular flour instead, just do a straight swap.

Disclaimer:

I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.

In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.

Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
