No Eggs Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake

This easy-to-make lemon blueberry loaf cake is made with no eggs! The high price of eggs inspired me to create this dairy-free alternative that starts with a simple box mix and uses dairy-free yogurt as an egg substitution give this dessert a moist bite. This cake doesn’t rise quite as much as a traditional loaf, but it’s delicious and bursting with summer flavor with a good balance of sweet and zesty. I’m always trying to find ways to save time and money while still creating delicious recipe alternatives and this cake does not disappoint!

What do I love about this cake?

  • Easy to make: Only one bowl needed to mix and uses simple ingredients. (starts with a box mix!)
  • Moist and delicious: The dairy-free yogurt alternative lends to the cake’s moist bite and the fresh blueberries and lemon zest add an amazing flavor combination.
  • Easy to transport summer dessert to take to a tea party, cookout or picnic.
  • Easy clean up after making!

This impressive cake started with a lemon pound cake box mix (I used White Lilly brand.) So how did I elevate my pound cake mix to the next delicious level? I grabbed some fresh blueberries, lemons, and dairy-free yogurt to give this cake the most flavorful makeover to sink your teeth into. This dessert can be enjoyed year round, but it truly feels like a bite of summer!

How to make lemon blueberry loaf cake

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 9×5 loaf pan with baking spray (I used Chosen Foods 100% avocado oil spray) and line the bottom of pan with parchment paper, if desired, for easy removal and set aside.

In a large bowl, add the lemon pound cake mix, almondmilk, dairy-free yogurt alternative, olive oil and salt then use an electric mixer to mix ingredients together until no flour remains and no large lumps, about 1 minute (do not overmix.) Next, fold in blueberries and lemon zest.

Add batter to prepared loaf pan and spread gently or tap pan on counter to evenly distribute batter. (I like to use a silicone spatula to spread evenly.) Place pan in center of preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until when a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool in pan on a cooling rack for 25-30 minutes, then loosen edges with a butter knife and turn out from pan on cooling rack to cool completely before glazing. Keep reading for glaze instructions. (NOTE: Lemon vanilla glaze is optional, this loaf cake is perfectly sweet on it’s own, at least in my opinion!)

Notes

How to store lemon blueberry yogurt loaf cake: Store covered at room temperature up to 3 days, in the fridge up to 1 week, or double wrap and freeze for up to 4 months.
Can you use frozen blueberries instead of fresh? Yes! You can use frozen blueberries in this recipe and you do not need to thaw them, they go in best straight from the freezer into the batter.
Note: I am lactose intolerant, that is why I chose to make this a dairy-free recipe. You can substitute with regular dairy yogurt and whole milk (or buttermilk) if you choose.
