Baking parchmentGrater
  1. 1.

    Heat the oven to 180C fan/ gas 6 and line a 28cm square baking tin with baking parchment.

  2. 2.

    Pour the Greek yoghurt into a large bowl. Wash and dry the pot, and fill twice with ground almonds. Add to the yoghurt. Half-fill it with caster sugar and add this to the bowl as well, along with the baking powder, poppy seeds, lemon zest and eggs. Mix well until the mixture is combined — make sure there are no lumps.

  3. 3.

    Gently fold in the blueberries and transfer to the prepared baking tin. Spread out evenly and bake for 45 min.

    Allow to cool slightly before serving, drizzled with kefir and honey (if you like). The cake will keep for 3-4 days and can be frozen for a later date
