Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake (with Lemon Glaze)








Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

Bright lemon + juicy blueberries + silky glaze = a show-stopping, crowd-pleasing cake.

A moist, buttery crumb bursting with berries and lemon. Bakes up beautifully in a Bundt for stunning swirls, or a loaf for easy slicing.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (tossed with 1 tbsp flour)

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 tsp milk or cream (as needed)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Time & Yield

  • Prep: 20 minutes
  • Bake: 50–60 minutes (Bundt) • 55–70 minutes (loaf)
  • Total: ~1 hour 15 minutes
  • Serves: 12

Tips

  • Room-temperature eggs and butter make the batter ultra-fluffy.
  • Lightly coat blueberries in flour so they don’t sink.
  • For extra lemon pop, brush hot cake with 2 tbsp warm lemon syrup (equal parts lemon juice & sugar) before glazing.

Directions

  1. Preheat & Prep Pan: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10–12 cup Bundt pan (or line/grease a 9×5 loaf pan).
  2. Cream: Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs & Flavor: Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  4. Dry + Sour Cream: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in half the dry ingredients, then the sour cream, then the remaining dry, just until combined.
  5. Fold Berries: Gently fold in the floured blueberries.
  6. Bake: Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake until a skewer tests clean. Tent with foil if browning early.
  7. Cool: Cool 12–15 minutes in pan, invert to rack, and cool completely.
  8. Glaze: Whisk glaze to a thick-pourable consistency and drizzle over cooled cake. Let set, slice, and enjoy.
