Lemon Blueberry Cake

Tender, tangy and sweet, this Lemon Blueberry Cake recipe takes little time to make, and the cake comes out super moist and the frosting is creamy and rich.

This is probably one of my favorites cakes to make and the easiest to put together. I like to incorporate fresh fruit in desserts, and I find lemons and blueberries compliment each other well in this recipe.

The outcome is soft, super moist, fruity cake topped with lemon and cream–cheese frosting.

Ingredients needed:

To make this amazing cake you will need: 3 eggs at room temperature, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, canola oil, milk, zest and juice of a lemon, all–purpose flour, baking powder, salt and a cup of fresh blueberries.

I made the frosting with cream cheese, condensed milk, juice of 1 lemon and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

Making the cake

Preheat oven to 350F (180C); grease 7 1/2 x 3–inch bundt cake pan and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar for about 5 minutes until they double in volume. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, oil and milk and mix for another minute or two.

Fold in your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) using a spatula until just combined with wet ingredients. Add a cup of fresh blueberries (you can use frozen too) and pour the cake batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cool the cake completely before turning it onto a serving plate. Drizzle the frosting on top and enjoy.

Making the frosting

In a mixing bowl, using a hand whisk, mix together the cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice and vanilla until you get to the desired consistency.

Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more condensed milk or if you prefer it a bit on the sour side, you may add more lemon juice.

For best results, let the cake chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.

what to serve with lemon blueberry cake

This cake goes well with a cup of lemon tea or black tea. I would also serve it with some fresh blueberries or blueberry sauce on the side.
