Ingredients:
- 2 cups of your favorite plain yogurt (we recommend Greek yogurt for its thickness and protein content)
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 cup of ground almonds (almond flour)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of fresh blueberries
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cake pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix the yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add the ground almonds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid crushing them, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
