Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon rind
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground allspice
• 1/8 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, margarine, egg, and fresh lemon rind. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 5 minutes until well combined and creamy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour and baking soda.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture alternately with the plain nonfat yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

4. Prepare the Streusel Topping:

   • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and fresh blueberries. Toss gently to coat the blueberries.

5. Assemble and Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Coat a 9 1/2-inch round tart pan with cooking spray. Spread the batter evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
   • Spoon the prepared streusel topping over the batter, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes on a wire rack.
   • After cooling, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
   • Slice and serve the Blueberry Streusel Cake, yielding approximately 10 servings.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure the margarine is at room temperature for easier mixing with sugar and egg.
• You can adjust the amount of blueberries in the streusel according to your preference for more or less fruitiness.
• Serve the cake slightly warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
