The Best Lemon Blueberry Cake

This Lemon Blueberry Cake is truly the best! It boasts an amazing flavor, a delightful texture, and loads of blueberries. The cake strikes a perfect balance—it’s not overly fluffy, nor is it as dense as a pound cake. This balance ensures that it can support the blueberries without them sinking. It’s just dense enough to hold everything together while being light. Trust me, if you’re searching for an easy dessert that will have everyone reaching for seconds, this cake is the one. Whether it’s for a backyard picnic or a Sunday brunch, you won’t regret making it!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Could I reduce the amount of powdered sugar used in the frosting? Cream cheese frosting can be tricky. While it might be tempting to cut down on the powdered sugar, doing so could make the frosting too thin, and it might not stay in place on the cake. I don’t recommend reducing it.
  • Could I use frozen blueberries? Fresh blueberries are recommended, but if you’re in a pinch, you can use frozen ones. Just make sure to thaw and pat them dry first. If added to the batter frozen, they release extra water, altering the final texture of the cake and causing the blueberries to sink.
