It’s not every day you make a Blueberry Lemon Cake. However, if you’re going to make one, then it better be delicious! My recipe for this cake is delicious in every way and the big secret is that it’s easy to make.

Putting the flavors of blueberry and lemon together is a smart move! The flavors mix well together and they are equally delicious. 

Blueberry Lemon Cake

This is one of those recipes that you make for breakfast on a Sunday and then everyone enjoys it for the rest of the week. You will catch me enjoying mine with a nice hot cup of coffee.

This lemon cake also makes an excellent dessert and can easily be broken apart for smaller kids. You just really have to choose what you make this cake for because I can promise you that everyone will enjoy it. 

Why Do Blueberries Sink in Your Cake?

Once you’ve made this Blueberry Lemon Cake, you may be wondering why the blueberries are sinking in your cake. If you have used baking soda in the cake batter, then the blueberries are going to sink into the cake. A good way to avoid this is to coat them in flour first!

The good thing is that you can still taste the blueberries and the cake still tastes delicious. 

Should You Bake with Frozen or Fresh Blueberries?

You may be wondering which is better to bake with. Do you use frozen blueberries or fresh blueberries? Frozen blueberries are a favorite in baking because they may not sink in the dish you’re making.

However, most of the time, it doesn’t matter whether you’re using fresh or frozen. It’s a matter of preference. If you have blueberries in your freezer, then don’t be afraid to use them up.

If you need a new dessert to make for your family, then it’s time to give this Blueberry Lemon Cake a try. It’s easy to freeze too, so don’t be afraid to make a double batch of it.
