For a shameless chocolate lover, I can modestly and effectively concede that this lemon blueberry cake is one of my extremely most loved cakes ever.

This lemon blueberry cake is a cake for all seasons and all occasions. I'm letting you know, it's ideal.

I swear, even lemon and blueberry haters love this cake (genuine story in case you're conversing with my exceptionally stubborn 8-year old).

Not exclusively is it refreshingly lovely, it tastes astounding: brilliant, new lemon flavor (in the cake and the icing) with delicious flies of blueberries and the tasty richness of whipped lemon icing.

The ingredients and directions for this lemon blueberry cake may look long and overwhelming however that is simply because I will in general be tedious in circumstances where I need you to succeed right away.

Truth be told, it's a straightforward cake – it doesn't require cake flour which is an excellent thing.

The tips and deceives I included are for your advantage so exploit. Or on the other hand at the end of the day, read through the entire thing before making it.

Ingredients :

1. Lemon Cake

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (120ml)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (120ml)
• 1+3/4 cups granulated white sugar (350g)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
• 1 cup milk (240ml)
• 2 vanilla beans* (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)

2. Lemon cream cheese frosting

• 2 cups powdered sugar (240g)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (226g)
• 1-2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (15-30ml)
• 1 cup cream cheese, room temperature (8oz / 226g)

3. Blueberry filling

• 1 cup granulated white sugar (200g)
• juice of 2 lemons
• 4 heaping cups blueberries, fresh or thawed (600g)

Instruction :

Make the blueberry filling : In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries are soft and the sauce has thickened up and is reduced by 1/3, about 5-10 minutes. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools.

Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line the bottom and the sides of two 8" (20cm) baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.

Make the lemon cake : In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl with a stand or handheld mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat butter, oil, and sugar on medium speed until creamy for about 2 minutes. Add 1 egg at the time and mix until fully incorporated. Alternately add dry ingredients, milk, dry ingredients, lemon juice, and end with dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Add vanilla* and lemon zest and stir to combine. ** Divide batter into the two prepared baking pans equally. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Don't overbake or the cake will be dry. Let cool to room temperature.

Make the lemon cream cheese frosting : In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whisk butter on medium speed until creamy. Add cream cheese and whisk until smooth and combined. Sift in powdered sugar and stir until well combined and creamy. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice at the time and stir until smooth and creamy. The frosting should be creamy but firm enough to frost the cake with an offset spatula. If the frosting is too soft, add more powdered sugar. If the frosting is too firm, add more lemon juice. Watch the video and the pictures above to see the consistency of the frosting.

Assemble the cake : Cut a thin layer off the tops of your cakes to create a flat surface if needed. Then cut each cake in half horizontally. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread 1/4 of the frosting over the cake. The frosting should be higher around the edges that it holds the blueberry filling inside the cake (watch the video and the step-by-step photos for better understanding). Layer with 1/3 of the blueberry filling (where the frosting is lower). Repeat two more times. Place last cake layer on top and lightly frost the outside and the sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Chill 4 hours in the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
