INGREDIENTS

•   140 g/ 1 cup plus 1 Tbsp all-purpose unbleached flour sifted
•   1/2 tsp  baking powder
•   1/2 tsp  baking soda
•   smidgen (1/32 tsp)  salt
•   135 g/ 2/3 cup  sugar for the mixture
•   57g / 4 Tbsp (2 oz)  unsalted butter  at room temperature
•   2 eggs  at room temperature
•   1 tsp pure vanilla extract
•   100 g/ 1/2 cup less 1 Tbsp whole yogurt (not fat-free or low-fat, so that it has a thick consistency)
•   170g/ 6 oz fresh blueberries
•   1 ½ Tbsp sugar to sprinkle on top

DIRECTIONS

◊  Place the rack in the middle shelf of the oven and preheat to 200°C/400°F.

◊  Line a 9-inch round non-stick cake pan with parchment paper cut-to-size.

◊  Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Put it aside.

◊  In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, at medium speed, beat butter and 2/3 cup sugar until fluffy paste is formed (2 min).

◊  Switch to high speed and add eggs, one at a time.  Beat well, until thick and creamy.

◊  Add vanilla and yogurt and beat for 5 seconds.

◊  Sprinkle ¼ of the flour-mixture at a time into the egg-mixture, and fold in one direction, scraping the side of the bowl until thick batter is formed.

◊  Empty the batter into the cake pan, spread it evenly in the pan.
This can be done successfully by starting from the center of the pan/batter, by applying slanted, corner back-side of spoon, start from the center and push the batter all the way to the sides evenly while rotating the cake pan.

◊  Scatter blueberries evenly over top and it is important to sprinkle remaining 1 ½ Tbsp sugar over the blueberries.

◊  Bake for 25 minutes, until cake is golden light-brown or inserted toothpick comes out clean.

◊  Let it cool in the pan for a minute, invert onto a plate (remove parchment paper) and immediately invert onto the serving dish. Let it cool.

Note: Parchment paper is not same as wax paper. Never use wax paper for baking… it is meant for wrapping food to store in refrigerator or to keep fresh and not for heat.
