Don’t you think that Blueberry and Lemon is the perfect combination of flavours? I certainly do! And even more so when liquor is involved! This Limoncello Blueberry Yogurt Ciambellone is AMAZING in flavour and texture. The cake is fluffy and light with a good hint of lemon and the blueberry make it even more moist. If you serve this to kids, you can skip the extra Limoncello on the top. As for the one inside the cake, I wouldn’t fret too much as the alcohol will evaporate in the oven. This has quickly become a favourite at our place and it makes a good change from my usual Yogurt and Nutella Ciambellone. Try it and let me know what you think! Buon appetito!
