Scale
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Lemon Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
- Cream wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, eggs, and sour cream until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
- Add blueberries and lemon: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries along with the lemon zest and lemon juice, distributing them evenly without breaking the berries.
- Pour batter and smooth: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
- Bake the cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Cool the cake: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan to room temperature before glazing.
- Prepare and drizzle glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to set before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture; frozen blueberries can be used but may alter batter consistency.
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier blending and a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent a dense cake.
- The lemon glaze can be adjusted in consistency by adding more lemon juice for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker drizzle.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting into the cake.
