Ingredients:
- 3/4 c blueberries
- 1 1/2 c flour
- 1/3 c cornmeal
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t salt
- 6 oz (1/2 c + 1 T) yogurt
- 1 T lemon juice
- 3/4 c sugar
- 1/4 c oil
- 1 t lemon zest
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 t cinnamon
- 2 t sugar
Notes: Position a rack in the center of the oven. Heat the oven to 350° F (180° C/Gas 4). Grease and flour a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and set aside. This helps keep them from sinking in the batter as the cake bakes.
In a bowl combine the remaining flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; blend well.
Whisk together the yogurt and lemon juice in another small bowl.
In a mixing bowl whisk together 3/4 cup sugar, oil and lemon zest.
Add the whole egg and the egg white to the sugar and oil mixture, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients a little at a time, alternating with the yogurt mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the floured blueberries. Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Combine remaining sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over batter.
Bake for 25 minutes, then cover the pan loosely with foil. Return the cake to the oven to bake for about 25 to 30 minutes longer, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

This very simple and easy to put together quick bread is just lovely. It has a great crumb, is pretty to look at and tastes great. I skipped the cinnamon and sprinkled the top with sanding sugar which gives the loaf a pretty sparkly look; I use low fat plain yogurt and a hit of vanilla. Rather that greasing the pan, I line it with parchment. I found it unnecessary to coat the berries in flour; instead, I add them at the last straight from the freezer. In fact, I skip the sort-of fussy instr...
