Lemon Blueberry Cake Recipe

This Lemon Blueberry Cake is tangy, sweet, super moist, and creamy. It’s a delicious and beautiful cake. It comes with soft lemon cake layers, a sweet blueberry filling, and an ultra creamy lemon cream cheese frosting. Detailed step-by-step photos and video. 

The frosting is just enough to make a naked cake. So if you don’t want to make a naked cake as I did, you may need about 1.5x of the frosting.

When it comes to cake decoration, let your fantasy play. I piped additional frosting over the cake and topped it with candied lemons and berries. The sour, sticky candied lemons are SO good and fit the cake just perfectly. In this blog post, you find a recipe for the candied lemons. These extra 10 minutes are well spent.

I also love to decorate my cakes with flowers. You can go with edible flowers if you get some.

You could also whip up some meringue, or top it with blueberry sauce, or decorate with whipping cream. Think of toppings which fit the cake and make it look pretty.
