betty's moist blueberry and yogurt cake
A moist vanilla cake, with blueberries and slithered almonds berried into the top. I use frozen berries due to cost and availability. Serve warm with cream or cold as is. This looks beautiful and plates well. If you want to impress - this cake is easy enough to not be difficult, yet pretty enough to serve to guests.

How To Make betty's moist blueberry and yogurt cake
-
Step 1Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC and grease an 8 inch (20 cm) SPRING-FORM cake tin. Line the base with baking paper.
-
Step 2In a medium sized bowl beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Step 3Sift half the flour and fold through, add 1/2 the yogurt and fold though. Repeat with remaining flour and yogurt.
-
Step 4Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Carefully sprinkle with the blueberries and use a WET hand to gently press them in a little. Sprinkle over the almonds and use a WET hand to gently press them in on top of the blueberries. Finally sprinkle with the raw sugar.
-
Step 5Pop in the oven and and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with tin foil and bake for another 15 -20 minutes or until skewer comes out clean. The foil prevents over browning and burning the sugar and almond topping.
