  2. Add the softened butter and sugar to a bowl and beat until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating each time.
  3. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice and yoghurt to the bowl and beat until well combined. Add the flour and mix until thick. Fold the blueberries through the batter.
