Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you need to create your masterpiece:

Ingredient	Quantity
All-purpose flour	2 ½ cups (310g)
Baking powder	1 tsp
Salt	½ tsp
Unsalted butter	1 cup (226g)
Granulated sugar	1 ¾ cups (350g)
Eggs	4 large
Lemon zest	2 tbsp
Lemon juice	¼ cup (60ml)
Vanilla extract	1 tsp
Fresh blueberries	1 ½ cups (225g)
Buttermilk	½ cup (120ml)
Powdered sugar (for glaze)	1 cup (120g)
Milk (for glaze)	2 tbsp

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Blueberry Pound Cakes

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Before you start baking, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside—it’s your dry base.

“Always sift your flour to avoid lumps. Think of it as fluffing your ingredients for a better cake!”

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). This step is crucial for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.

4. Add the Wet Ingredients

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients for a smooth batter.

“Alternate additions ensure even mixing without overworking the batter.”

6. Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula. Coating them with a bit of flour beforehand prevents them from sinking to the bottom.

7. Pour and Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips for the Perfect Pound Cake

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter, eggs, and buttermilk are at room temperature for seamless mixing.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix until just combined.
Cool Completely: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Common Problems and Solutions

Problem 1: Cake Sinks in the Middle

Cause: Overmixing or underbaking.
Solution: Use fresh baking powder and avoid overmixing the batter.

Problem 2: Dry Cake

Cause: Overbaking or too much flour.
Solution: Measure flour correctly and check for doneness 5 minutes before the suggested time.

Problem 3: Blueberries Sink to the Bottom

Cause: Not coating berries with flour.
Solution: Toss blueberries with a teaspoon of flour before adding to the batter.

Making the Lemon Glaze

To elevate your cake, a simple lemon glaze is all you need. Here’s how:

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

“The glaze adds a tangy sweetness that takes this cake to the next level!”

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a hot cup of tea or coffee for the ultimate treat.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for added elegance.
