LEMON BLUEBERRY CAKE

Please See Other Recipes

Fresh-squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh blueberries help make this layered lemon cake a hit. This dessert is similar to my successful super lemon bundt cake recipe .

To make this recipe go smoothly, you’ll want to start off by doing a little bit of prep work first:

Use a grater to zest a lemon. Set aside.

Slice three to four lemons and squeeze lemon juice to measure 1/3 cup and set aside.

Rinse blueberries and place in medium-sized bowl. Coat with a tablespoon of flour. Set aside.

Lightly grease and flour three nine-inch round cake pans. (I also place a piece of parchment paper in bottom of each pan)

In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt  together.  Set aside.

Now that we’re done with the prep work, it’s time to start making this cake. In large bowl, combine softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 – 3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
