Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice + zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

2. Make the Batter:

  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in lemon juice, zest, and milk until smooth.
  • Sift together flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet mixture.
  • Gently fold in blueberries.

3. Bake the Cakes:
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks.

4. Prepare the Frosting:

  • Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy.
  • Gradually add confectioner’s sugar and mix until smooth.
  • Stir in lemon juice to achieve desired tanginess and consistency.

5. Assemble the Cake:
Spread frosting evenly between the cake layers and over the top and sides. Garnish with additional blueberries and lemon zest for a stunning finish!


Notes

  • Blueberries: Toss blueberries in a little flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking.
  • Lemon Zest: Use a microplane grater for best results when zesting lemons.
  • Storage: Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
