Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Baking powder
Salt
Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in:
Lemon zest
Lemon juice
Vanilla extract
Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until smooth and combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Cream Filling & Frosting
Step 5: Prepare the Cream Frosting
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add:
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the lemon juice until fully combined.
Assemble the Cake
If desired, slice the cake horizontally into layers.
Spread cream filling between the layers.
Frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.
Decorate with fresh blueberries, lemon slices, lemon zest curls, or sprinkles.
Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Tips for Best Results
Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor.
Toss blueberries lightly in flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking.
Avoid overmixing once the flour is added.
Chill the frosting if it becomes too soft while decorating.
Add a thin layer of blueberry jam between cake layers for extra fruity flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.
Pair with hot tea, coffee, or lemonade.
Garnish with extra lemon zest just before serving for added freshness.
