Blueberry Olive Oil Cake


    • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup almond meal
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest & orange or tangerine zest
    • 1-3/4 cups (about 10 ounces)frozen blueberries
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13-inch rectangular pan w/olive oil. Whisk together the flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
    2. Combine the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until light in color and increased in volume, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Turn the mixer to medium citrus zest on low speed.
    3. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until just incorporated. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, put blueberries on top, and bake for 25 minutes.
    4. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
    Biscuit like texture...
