Blueberry Pound Cake

Recipe

  • 1 stick butter at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Baking Tips

  • I usually use a whisk or spatula to mix my ingredients but using an electric mixer was a game changer for this recipe, so I recommend using that if you have one!
  • You can substitute blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or any other fruit of choice that would pair well with the base
  • When you mix in the blueberries, make sure to do so very gently to keep them from being smashed
  • If you like a stronger lemon flavor, add another tablespoon of Lemon and/or a 1 tsp of lemon zest. There is just a slight hint of lemon flavor in the original recipe
  • For extra sweetness, you could add in white chocolate chips, or use the optional icing recipe below!

How To Bake

  • Add you butter and eggs to a bowl and mix until the eggs start to fluffen up, its okay if the butter doesn’t mix completely and if there are still chunks (they will eventually mix in when the rest of the ingredients are added)
  • Add in the white and brown sugar, and after you mix those in add your vanilla extract and lemon juice
  • In a separate bowl combine the salt, baking powder, and flour, and once combined add these to your wet ingredients
  • Finally, add in the blueberries (or any other preferred mix-ins) and fold them into your batter
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray and bake at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes

Lemon Glaze Recipe (OPTIONAL)

  • 1 tbs honey
  • 1 tbs greek yogurt (I used a vanilla flavored one)
  • 2 tbs powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
