Ingredients
 

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries you can also use frozen, but do not thaw

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice adjust for desired consistency

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Cream Butter and Sugar:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:

  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Prepare Blueberries:

  • Toss the blueberries with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour to coat them (this helps prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom of the cake).

Combine Blueberries with Batter:

  • Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter.

Bake:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Glaze:

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Serve:

  • Slice the Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake and serve.
