Method
Why I Like this Recipe
I love this lemon blueberry cake because it's light yet filling, naturally sweet, and packed with fresh lemon flavour. The oats and chia seeds add fibre, and olive oil keeps it moist instead of using butter. It’s easy to make and feels like a treat, but it's healthy enough for any time of day.
Tips and Variations
- Try using wholemeal flour if you want more fibre.
- If you need a dairy-free option, use coconut yoghurt instead.
- You can swap agave for honey or maple syrup if you prefer.
- Feel free to use raspberries or mixed berries if you like.
- I think it tastes best slightly chilled, with a drizzle of agave and some extra lemon zest on top.
- Serve it with green tea or black coffee for a refreshing snack.
Meal Storage
Store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezer tips
Freeze slices without the yoghurt topping in an airtight container at -18°C for up to 2 months.
Let the slices thaw in the fridge overnight, then add fresh yoghurt and blueberries before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, both fresh and frozen blueberries work well. Frozen ones may release more juice, which adds extra flavour to the cake.
It’s not dairy-free, but you can make it dairy-free by using coconut yoghurt instead of plain yoghurt.
Yes, you can use flax eggs instead of regular eggs. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg to make it vegan-friendly.
