  • Author: Julien Moreau
  • Total Time: 14 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup whole milk
– 3 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if out of season)


Instructions

Follow this easy guide to create your delicious Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture. Alternate with the milk, and mix just until smooth.
6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix them into the batter.
7. Divide the Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the Cakes: Once done, remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in their pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Frosting: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the lemon cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
11. Incorporate Sugar and Lemon: Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Then add lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Beat until creamy and fluffy.
12. Frost the Cake: Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Add the second layer and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
