Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake

Just made this and it is delicious, with this taste I can't believe it's relatively healthy! I didn't even make the glaze, to cut down… A tender and quick loaf bread bursting with lemon flavor and loaded with plump and juicy blueberries. It's quick and easy to make & the perfect pairing to your tea or coffee. a moist quick bread made with Greek yogurt & NO butter is easy to whip up with no mixer. Blueberries and lemon are just such a lovely combination together - it's one of my favorite summer pairings. This cake so incredibly moist and fluffy. Such a beautiful and delicious way to savor summer a little longer! :) Love this!! It makes a delicious start to your morning and the perfect evening or after school snack.  Get the full recipe and instructions here >> Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake @ lifemadesweeter.com
