Lemon Blueberry Skillet Cake – Super easy recipe perfect for those lemon blueberry fans.  This cake is moist and great for breakfast or dessert!

I have happily made and tested this Lemon Blueberry Skillet Cake recipe a few times lately to get it just right!  I’m so happy with how it came out, and I can see myself making it all the time because it’s so easy all in one bowl and one skillet!   

Lemon zest and lemon juice give it that light citrus flavor.  And I make it with melted butter and Greek yogurt which makes it wonderfully tender and moist.  It’s not a huge recipe so it’s perfect when you’re craving a little something sweet. 

And I promise, even those non blueberry fans in my house, liked it too!!  I make it in my 10 inch cast iron skillet which is one of my favorite kitchen items I have.  While its baking, I make an easy lemon glaze with just some powdered sugar and lemon juice.  Then I pour it all over the warm cake and try to restrain myself while it cools a little!

What ingredients are needed to make this Lemon Blueberry Skillet Cake?

• All purpose flour
• granulated sugar
• baking soda
• baking powder 
• salt
• zest of 2 lemons
• fresh lemon juice
• melted butter
• 1 egg
• vanilla greek yogurt
• milk
• blueberries
• For the Glaze:  powdered sugar and more fresh lemon juice

About how many lemons do I need to use for the fresh lemon juice?

• I recommend having 3 lemons on hand.  I can make this recipe including the glaze with only 2 lemons, but I would have 1 extra just in case one lemon isn’t very juicy!

Do I need a cast-iron skillet to make this recipe?

• I could go on and on about my love for my cast iron skillet.  I love making desserts like this one and this one.  I even love making pizza and skillet nachos in it too.  Buuuut, if you don’t have one, you can make this recipe in a round cake pan or a 9 x 9 glass baking dish.  Baking time may need to be adjusted slightly, so you would need to make sure you set timers and watch it!
