Description

A moist and flavorful lemon blueberry pound cake topped with a sweet lemon glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature (or sour cream substitute)
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tbsp flour (for coating blueberries)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (for glaze)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3–5 minutes).
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  5. Mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  6. Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently and do not overmix.
  7. Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour and gently fold into batter.
  8. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  10. Cool in pan for 15–20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice to make glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake and let set before slicing.

Notes

  • Sour cream can replace buttermilk if needed.
  • Mix gently to avoid a dense cake.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
