Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • electric mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 0.25 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup sugar (200g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.75 cup plain 0% Greek yogurt (150 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice (1 lemon)
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour (200-210 grams, fluffed and leveled)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • zest of 2 lemons (or 3, if you like things tangy!)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, toss with 1 tablespoon flour)

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 4 oz cream cheese ½ package
  • 0.25 cup sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg white

Glaze

  • 0.5 cup powdered icing sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8×4" (or 9×5") loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl whisk together oil and sugar. Add eggs, yogurt, vanilla and juice and whisk until smooth.
  • Add flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest and stir just until combined. Fold in blueberries.
  • Make the cream cheese layer: beat cream cheese, sugar and egg white with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Pour ⅔ of your bread batter into prepared loaf pan. Top with cream cheese mixture and spread evenly. Top with remaining ⅓ bread batter and smooth the top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes, covering loosely with foil after 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
  • Gradually stir lemon juice into powdered icing sugar until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over loaf before serving.
