Description

This moist and fluffy blueberry cake with tangy lemon cream cheese frosting is the ultimate dessert for any occasion. Bursting with juicy blueberries and bright citrus flavor, it’s a treat you’ll want to make again and again.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) blueberries
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (375 g) powdered sugar
  • Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
  9. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and the zest and juice of the lemon until smooth and fluffy.
  10. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a thick layer of frosting, then top with the second cake layer. Cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
  11. Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest, if desired.

Notes

For best results, bring all ingredients to room temperature before starting. Toss blueberries in a little flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter. Ensure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting.
