Lemon Blueberry Cake
Description
The Lemon Blueberry Cake starts by creaming together butter and sugar until fluffy, then incorporating eggs for structure. Dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest, which are alternately mixed with milk and lemon juice to keep the batter tender. Fresh blueberries coated in flour are gently folded in to prevent sinking. Baking creates a golden cake with tender crumb and juicy bursts from blueberries.
After baking, the cake is pierced with a skewer and drizzled with a lemon glaze made from boiling sugar and lemon juice, infusing additional citrus flavor and moisture. Once cooled, it's topped with whipped cream for a light finish that complements the citrus and berry notes.
This cake works well as a dessert, brunch item, or special occasion treat. The glaze adds moistness, and the whipped cream topping adds richness without heaviness.
