Equipment

  • Electric Hand Mixer
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Citrus Zester
  • Baking Pan
  • Oven and Oven Mitts
  • Cooling Rack
  • Whisk or Spoon
  • Bowl for glaze
  • Toothpicks

Ingredients

For the Pound Cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Additional lemon zest for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a standard-sized loaf pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Gradually add the flour to the batter, mixing well after each addition. Optionally, add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • Gently fold in the lemon zest and fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until you achieve a smooth glaze consistency.
  • Once the pound cake is completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes.
  • Slice the Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake, garnish with additional lemon zest if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh lemons and plump blueberries for optimal flavor.
  2. Baking Precision: Monitor baking time closely; use the toothpick test for doneness to avoid under- or over-baking.
