How to Make Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

Step 1: Prep & Preheat

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Batter

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add sour cream, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (prevents them from sinking) and fold them into the batter.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 4: Make the Lemon Glaze

  1. Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing.

Tips for the Best Pound Cake

✔ Use Fresh Lemons – The zest and juice add the best flavor.
