Ingredients For lemon blueberry pound cake

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 8 ounce cream cheese
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • zest of one large lemon, finely minced
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • lemon juice

How To Make lemon blueberry pound cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan very well and lightly dust with flour.
  • 2
    Cream together the sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • 3
    Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gently fold dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until the flour is almost fully incorporated. At that point fold in the blueberries.
  • 4
    Bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Baking times may vary considerable, especially if you are using frozen berries which can add 15 - 20 minutes. Watch cake closely and rely on the toothpick test to make sure that it is completely baked.
  • 5
    Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before turning out of pan onto the rack to cool completely.
  • 6
    Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Use only enough lemon juice to bring the glaze to a thick, but still pourable consistency.
  • 7
    Drizzle with the glaze before serving.
