This Blueberry Lemon Cake is loaded with 1 pound of blueberries and every bite has sweet pops of juicy blueberry and fresh lemon flavor. It’s not too sweet and not too tangy, but just right. This is my favorite tea/ coffee lemon blueberry cake and it’s easy, easy, easy!!

I love having recipes like this which come together quickly and are perfect for un-planned company and my evening sweet-tooth cravings. Bite into this while it’s still a little warm and you’ll have no words, only sound effects… mmm!

This blueberry lemon cake is perfectly satisfying on it’s own without any kind of frosting. A generous dusting of powdered sugar is all you need. It is moist, fluffy and tastes like a decadent blueberry muffin from a fancy bakery.

***Reader Polina wrote that she “used the Stonefield whole milk yogurt for the recipe – turned out perfect soft and very moist.”

****On baking in a Tube pan: Reader, Kelly, writes: “I did this a a tube pan and upped all the ingredients by half. I was feeding 2 families :). I used the “Baking Happy” Pam non stick spray with flour and it popped out beautifully. It baked for 55 mins, and was perfect!!! Since the pan is larger, upping the ingredients by half was a perfect fit for the pan- once baked, the cake cake right to the top. I sprinkled with powdered sugar. Delicious recipe…everyone loved it! Thanks so much!!!”

Can I Substitute Frozen Blueberries for Baking?

If using frozen blueberries, thaw in refrigerator and drain any excess juice then in step #4: toss with a full 1 Tbsp of starch and do not add lemon juice to blueberries. Do not add more than 16 oz blueberries or they start to weigh the cake down.

How To Make Blueberry Lemon Cake:

Prep: Lightly butter a 9-inch springform pan**** and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat Oven to 375˚F.

1. Beat 2 eggs and 1 cup sugar with whisk attachment on high speed 5 minutes or until lightened in color and thick.

2. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt and whisk on low speed until well combined.

3. Whisk together the 2 cups flour with 2 tsp baking powder then add to batter 1/3 at a time, whisking to incorporate between each addition (DO NOT OVERMIX or the cake will be dense). Finally, add 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1/2 Tbsp lemon zest. (I really like to use this lemon zester).

4. Rinse blueberries and drain well. Transfer to a medium bowl add 1/2 Tbsp corn starch and 1 tsp lemon juice. Stir until well combined and no dry white cornstarch remains. If using frozen blueberries, see note above. 

5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared springform pan and even out the top with a spatula. Top with half of the blueberries. Spread with remaining batter then sprinkle the rest of the blueberries evenly over the top, pushing them about halfway into the batter. Bake at 375˚F for 45 to 55 minutes (mine was perfect at 55 min), or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cake rest in the pan for 15-20 minutes then remove ring and cool until room temp or just warm.

Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
