Blueberry Lemon Cake

RECIPE: https://anitacooks.com/blueberry-lemon-cake/ NO MIXER NEEDED. Hi Guys, today I’ll show you how to make a moist and lemony blueberry lemon cake. It’s so easy, you don’t even need a mixer to make this cake. We’ll need all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, sugar, eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, vanilla extract and blueberries fresh or frozen. When the cake is warm, we’ll pour a sauce on top to make it extra lemony. For the sauce we’ll need powdered sugar, butter and lemon juice.

First, heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 177 degrees Celsius. I’ll be using a loaf pan to make this cake. Butter it well or use an oil spray. Coat with flour and tap out the excess and set aside. Add the baking powder, baking soda and salt to the flour and mix well. Add the eggs to a large bowl and beat well. Add sugar and mix for one minute. Add the oil, milk and lemon juice. Vanilla extract and lemon zest. Mix to combine. Now add the flour mixture. Stir to combine, don’t over mix. To the blueberries, add lemon juice and all purpose flour. Mix well to coat the blueberries. This will help the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Add all the blueberries and spread evenly. Pour the remaining batter on top. Even out the top. Tap the pan on your counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles. Bake in the heated oven for approximately 45 minutes. While the cake is baking, make the sauce. Pour melted butter into a measuring cup, then the powdered sugar. Mix that well. Add lemon juice and mix to combine.
Check the cake at 40 minutes in case your oven runs hot. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean when the cake is done. Leave the pan on a rack set on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes. You should be able to touch the pan without burning yourself. Run an offset spatula around the cake so it comes out easily. Flip the cake over onto your hand, tapping the bottom of the pan if necessary. Place the cake on the rack. I couldn’t find my long wooden skewers so I’m using this metal bbq skewer. Use whatever you have to make holes in the cake, all the way to the bottom. Make 4 rows of about 10 holes. Slowly, pour the sauce all over the cake. Some will drip down and into the tray. You can put this sauce back on top or on the sides if you wish. Let the cake absorb all the sauce and cool down. I’ll cut you a piece now when it’s still a little warm. You can see the blueberries all through the cake, top to bottom. Your house will smell like lemons and it’s such a wonderful aroma. The cake is moist with so much lemon flavor from the lemon juice, lemon zest and of course the buttery lemon sauce soaked into the cake. As you saw, it’s easy to make without a mixer. I hope you give this delicious cake a try and let me know what you think in the comments. See you next time, Thanks for watching.
