This is a great cake to make early in the day to serve later, since it needs to sit at room temperature for 8 hours. This is also great for breakfast with coffee!

How To Make blueberry pound cake

  • Step 1
    Beat the butter at medium speed of an electric mixer for about 2 minutes or until it is soft and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating at medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears.
  • Step 2
    Gradually add 3 3/4 cups flour to the creamed mixture, mixing at low speed just until blended after each addition.
  • Step 3
    Toss the blueberries and lemon rind with 1/4 cup flour. Fold into the batter. Pour into a greased 10-inch tube pan.
  • Step 4
    Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Remove from the pan. Cover and let stand 8 hours at room temperature before serving.
