  • Author: Lina Carter
  • Total Time: 20 minute

Ingredients

For the Cake:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)

For the Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 cups powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Creating the Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting is a straightforward process when broken down into clear steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk until well blended.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, then gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for about 20-30 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Prepare Frosting: In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, followed by lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and fluffy.
9. Layer Cakes: Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of lemon cream cheese frosting on top.
10. Add Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining lemon cream cheese frosting.
