Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Lemon Blueberry Layer Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Zest: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest.
5. Add Milk and Lemon Juice: Gradually mix in the milk and lemon juice until well combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
8. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool Cakes: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
11. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Incorporate blueberry puree, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
12. Frost the Layers: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of blueberry frosting on top. Repeat with the second layer, then place the final layer on top.
13. Decorate: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining blueberry frosting. Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon slices, if desired.
