Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
Make the Cake Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth.
Mix in the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil and vanilla into the egg mixture until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and stir just until no dry streaks remain.
Toss the blackberries with a tablespoon of flour and then fold them into the batter gently.
Bake the Lemon Blackberry Loaf
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Try a couple of spots in case your toothpick goes into a blackberry and not the cake itself. Also, if the top browns too quickly, you can loosely cover with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
Whisk the glaze ingredients together, beginning with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Add more lemon juice a few drops at a time until the glaze is thick but spreadable - it should slowly mound rather than run.
Spread the glaze over the completely cooled loaf using a spatula or spoon.
Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing, so the glaze can set.
Notes
Zest first: Remove the lemon zest before squeezing the fruit. A whole lemon is easier to grip.
Line the pan: Leave extra parchment paper above the long sides of the loaf pan so you can lift the cake out. If you don’t have parchment, you can grease the loaf tin instead.
Aim for a thick glaze: Start with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add more a few drops at a time until the glaze is a loose (but not too runny) consistency.
