- In a stand mixer, beat vegetable oil and sugar, then add eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth.
- Next, add Greek yogurt, vanilla bean seeds, and salt and beat until smooth.
- Add baking powder and flours in 1/2-cup increments, scraping the sides of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat on medium-low speed until well-combined.
- Pour into your greased cake pan and bake 30 minutes. While baking, make the blueberry glaze. Let cake cool completely before glazing.
Glaze
- Combine all ingredients for glaze in your Wolf blender and puree one minute.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, strain puree into medium-sized saucepan to remove any blueberry skins.
- Boil this mixture, then simmer until sugar and cornstarch has dissolved, and a rich, dark, royal purple color is achieved.
- When your cake is cooled, pour the glaze onto the center of the cake, letting it evenly coat the cake on top and sides.
- Let chill in the fridge for the glaze to set. Serve cool or at room temperature.
