Lemon Blueberry Cake

A coffee cake, with tea, coffee, or even an Irish coffee, is the perfect way to start the morning or end the day.

What’s in Lemon Blueberry Cake?

Much like a lemon blueberry bread, this cake is made with real blueberries that pop with flavor, pure butter, and bright, citrusy lemons that all come to together to make this delicious from-scratch recipe. This easy recipe is a bit like a poke cake as once its baked, we poke holes in it and drizzle it with a fresh lemon glaze. The glaze adds a bold lemony flavor to every bite.

Serve topped with dollop of freshly whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

To Make Lemon Blueberry Cake

Only the freshest flavors of lemon and blueberry are mixed together in this easy cake!

To Make the Cake:

Zest & juice lemons.
Combine butter, sugar, and eggs (per recipe below) and whisk dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.
Add the flour and milk alternately to butter mixture. Then fold in blueberries carefully so they stay whole!
Add to prepared pan and bake.

Baking Tip: Tossing fruit with a bit of flour before adding to a batter keeps it evenly distributed and can help keep the color from bleeding.

Lemon Glaze

While the cake is baking boil sugar and fresh lemon juice. Poke the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or even a chopstick while still warm.

Drizzle with the lemon glaze and let it cool completely. The lemony flavor will seep into every morsel keeping the cake moist and delicious!

This lemon blueberry cake is the perfect pair to a coffee or dessert date with friends. Just cut generous slices and serve with whipped cream and a cup of coffee!

How to Tell When a Cake is Ready

Aside from the amazing aroma, the best way to tell if the lemon blueberry cake is done is by inserting a wooden pick in the center after it’s done baking. If the skewer or pick comes out clean, it’s done!

How Long Will Blueberry Cake Last?

As long as it stays covered, the lemon blueberry cake will last about a week. It can be frozen too as long as it is fully cooled! Don’t forget to label and seal it tight!
