Lemon-Blueberry Cake

Celebrate the flavour alongside this delicious Lemon-Blueberry Cake!

I convey a affair for lemon huckleberry recipes in addition to desserts. This combination of flavors inspires me to make all sorts of lusciousness! From our favorite Lemon Blueberry Muffins alongside Crumble Topping, in addition to these tardily Blueberry Puff Pastry Tarts alongside Lemon Cream, to our all-time summertime favorite – Blueberry-Lemon Icebox Cake, we only can’t larn enough.

 

 

Decorate this Lemon-Blueberry Cake alongside your favorite seasonal edible flowers or fresh blueberries for a overnice popular of color.

These beautiful pansies called to me alongside their lovely hues of yellowish in addition to blue, only similar this lemon cake alongside a huckleberry filling. While the flowers wilt inside a 24-hour interval of existence picked, they’re stunning for the initial presentation. If you’re serving this cake to your mum on Mother’s Day, or at a marriage or babe shower, unproblematic edible flowers are the agency to larn for tardily decorating. Make the cake the 24-hour interval earlier in addition to function on it refrigerated overnight. Just earlier serving, selection the flowers, accommodate inwards a unproblematic blueprint in addition to serve.

 

This moist lemon cake is sturdy plenty to agree upwardly nether the weight of all 3 layers, but is yet tender in addition to light!

For the prettiest slices, refrigerate this cake overnight thus it’s good chilled earlier serving. Wipe the knife make clean betwixt slices alongside newspaper towels or a damp stuff to withdraw steaks of huckleberry jam. Any leftover cake volition function on for at almost a calendar week when stored inwards an airtight container. The jam volition color the frosting a niggling over time, but null drastic or off-putting. This is a delicious cake that keeps well, tastes fantastic in addition to volition brand your lucky recipients really happy!

 

The huckleberry filling is really tardily to brand alongside only Wild Blueberry Jam in addition to fresh blueberries.

This filling starts alongside our favorite Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Jam in addition to 2-cups of fresh blueberries. Stonewall Kitchen’s jam has only the correct amount of saccharide thus the filling is non overly sweet, in addition to plenty of huckleberry flavor. Super sweetness jam or jelly may live a niggling cloying when combined alongside the luscious frosting. The jam is gently warmed in addition to stirred thus mixed alongside fresh blueberries. The mixture is microwaved at 50% powerfulness only until the blueberries are softened but non ruptured or burst. This method ensures the filling is non overly juicy or mushy in addition to the blueberries rest intact. I do not recommend using frozen blueberries for this recipe. The filling volition destination upwardly moisture in addition to bleed into the cake in addition to frosting creating a large soggy mess.

 

Our recipe for Lemon-Blueberry Cake was created alongside 3 layers inwards mind.

If you lot don’t convey 3 8-inch cake pans, experience gratis to role ii 9-inch pans instead. However if you lot brand only ii layers, I recommend using one-half the amount of filling. Or, experience gratis to arrive at the cake alongside the remaining one-half for to a greater extent than huckleberry flavor. I convey non made this recipe using 9-inch pans, thus spotter your baking fourth dimension carefully.

If desired, tint the frosting alongside a niggling huckleberry jam liquid to accomplish the subtle ombre affect.

To make the graduated color, outset spread the frosting betwixt the layers, across the top, in addition to around the sides of the arrive at layer. Add 1-tablespoon of the jam liquid to the remaining frosting in addition to blend well. Next, spread the tinted frosting around the sides of the middle cake layer. Finally, add together the remaining tablespoon of jam liquid to the lastly of the frosting. Spread the darkest frosting around the bottom layer of the cake. I don’t recommend using likewise much jam as it volition brand the frosting loose. Feel gratis to role nutrient color if you lot prefer.
