Natasha’s Blueberry Lemon Cake recipe is exactly that: soft, moist, bursting with fresh blueberries, and perfectly balanced with bright lemon zest. It’s truly a showstopper!

Here is how you can bake this heavenly cake for your family (and then, if you're feeling generous, bake extra to earn some extra cash for your own family).

🍋 Blueberry Lemon Cake Recipe 🫐

This recipe is surprisingly simple, making it a perfect candidate for batch cooking. It uses readily available ingredients and requires minimal fuss, leaving you more time to relax with your own cup of coffee.

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup light olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 medium lemon (zest and juice), divided
• 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
• 16 oz fresh blueberries
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Simple Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and lightened. Then, mix in the sour cream, oil, vanilla, and salt until just combined.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate dish, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
3. Build the Batter: Gradually whisk the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, ensuring everything is incorporated.
4. Prepare Blueberries: Rinse and drain the blueberries. Fold in the cornstarch and a teaspoon of lemon juice until no dry starch remains.
5. Assemble and Bake: Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line it with parchment paper. Spread half the batter, top with half the blueberries, repeat with the second half of the batter, and finally sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top. Push the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
6. Bake: Bake at 375°F for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool for 15–20 minutes before removing it from the mold.
7. Finish: Dust generously with powdered sugar and enjoy!
