One frosted Lemon Blueberry Cake with blueberries and a fork next to it and more cakes and a lemon in the background.


This Easy One Bowl Lemon Blueberry Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting was a product of four ingredients I had to use because they weren’t at their freshest – blueberries, buttermilk, cream cheese and lemons.


I love a challenge like this! Just a few random items and see where they can take you.


The best part of this recipe is how simple it is to make!  You just throw everything (besides the blueberries) into a bowl and mix!  The you just fold in the blueberries – how easy is that??


These little beauties are truly delectable!  The icing is so good that I could eat it on it’s own!  I made mine quite soft so it didn’t need a lot of sugar and it was almost like cheesecake!  Combine that with this amazing cake and you’ll be making them again as soon as they’re gone!


I started by coating the blueberries with a bit of flour to keep them from sinking, but the batter is quite think so I doubt they would have sunk too much.

Oh and for full disclosure, I added a bit of yellow food coloring to make them pop and scream, ‘I’m lemon!’ but as you’re probably not going to be photographing your’s this is totally optional.The cake batter in the food processor with a the blueberries added.


Tools I used


I made them using a mini Bundt Pan.  If you’re in the US, you can one like mine from Amazon, here.  If you’re in the UK,click here. They are really adorable, but if you want to use a muffin pan instead, it will work fine (you may just have to add a few minutes to the cooking time).


If you do get the pan which is amazing just make sure you grease it really well.  I use Cake Release which is also available on here on Amazon – If you’re in the UK, click here, I couldn’t live without it!  The cakes come out really easy!

    cup
    buttermilk

    cup
    butter

  • ½
    cup
    cream cheese
    softened


  • 2-4
    tablespoons

    warmed




Instructions




  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC




  2. Prepare the pan by greasing it with butter or cake release (see post)




  3. In a large mixing bowl (or food processor), beat together the eggs, flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, zest, buttermilk, food coloring (if using) and juice until smooth and thoroughly blended.




  4. Fold in the blueberries




  5. Fill the pan sections evenly with the batter.




  6. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 or until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.




  7. Leave to cool completely in the pan before removing from the pan.




  8. Remove a small bit from the bottom of the cake and crumble it onto a small plate and set aside to use as decoration later (see photo).




  9. For the Icing: Make sure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature or icing will be lumpy. Blend the cream cheese and butter in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.




  10. Add the powdered sugar ½ cup at a time, blending after each addition.




  11. Add the lemon juice 1 tablespoon at a time until the the icing is the the desired consistency and can be poured (I like mine quite thick).
