Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375º F.
  2. Spray 12 cup muffin tray with oil spray.
  3. Whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1/4 cup of the sugar together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  4. Beat an additional 3/4 cup sugar and and butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes). Scrape batter down sides with a spatula as needed.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Beat in lemon juice and zest, and vanilla until incorporated.
  7. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture until just incorporated, followed by 1/3 of the yogurt, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed.
  8. Repeat this process 2 more times alternating between the remaining flour mixture and the yogurt until the ingredients are just incorporated. Do not over mix.
  9. Rinse blueberries in a metal strainer until water comes out clear; dry on a paper towel. (This step prevents blueberries from bleeding into dough mixture and turning a gray color).
  10. Toss the blueberries with the remaining tablespoon of all-purpose flour.
  11. Gently fold blueberries into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  12. Using a large ice cream scoop divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  13. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out of center clean.
  14. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then flip them out onto a wire rack and cool for 10 more minutes.
