  • Author: Julien Moreau
  • Total Time: 36 minute

Ingredients

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


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your amazing Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
5. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the whole milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the mixture. Stir to combine.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to ensure they are evenly distributed without mashing them.
8. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
9. Bake the Cakes: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool the Cakes: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 20 minutes. Then invert them onto wire racks to cool completely.
11. Make the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese and butter. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix well. Add lemon juice and zest, mixing until smooth.
12. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top, then place the second layer over it. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

These steps should guide you in creating this scrumptious cake, ensuring that your Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting is a showstopper!
