Blueberry Lemon Shortcake
Blueberry Lemon Shortcake brings together a lemon-scented cake base with a warm blueberry sauce and whipped cream topping. The cake uses a lemon-flavored cake mix combined with lemon juice and eggs to produce a moist, citrusy foundation. The sauce thickens fresh blueberries with sugar and lemon juice into a vibrant, sweet topping. Whipped cream adds a light, tender contrast to the fruity sauce and cake.

Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme
- 3 large egg
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup lemon juice fresh
- 1 1/2 pounds blueberries rinsed, fresh
- 1 cup water
- lemon juice of 1
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 4 Tbsp water
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar optional
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F Spray a 9x13 baking pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and water. Whisk until well blended. There will be some lumps, don't worry. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22 -25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it. Set the cake aside to cool.
- Put the blueberries, water, lemon juice, sugar, and dissolved cornstarch in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and turns dark purple. Stir carefully so you don't mash the blueberries.
- Whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Slice the cake into 12 pieces and serve with the blueberry sauce and whipped cream.
