I seem to buy things when I see them on sale and then I go home and a wonder what to do with them. I got a lovely bunch of blueberries recently and many recipes came to mind. I decided to remake a lemon blueberry cake that I made a while back, but this time I wanted it to be a little more healthy. I substituted the butter for canola oil and apple sauce. Then I used low-fat yogurt instead of whole milk and even lessened the sugar a bit. The result was a very moist cake that everyone enjoyed, including my son who claims to dislikes blueberries.
Ingredients:
The Wet ingredients:

1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 cup apple sauce
4 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup lemon juice
The Dry Ingredients:

3 cups of all purpose flour (sifted)
1/2 tsp of salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
Flavorings:
2 cups fresh blueberries
2Tbs lemon zest
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbs lemon juice + a tsp water as needed to make glaze
Directions:

With a mixer cream all the wet ingredients. Then add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently. Add the blueberries and lemon zest. Pour batter into a large greased (or sprayed) bundt pan or cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Allow cake to cool down and pour the glaze over the cake. Enjoy.
