Easy Lemon Blueberry Cake Recipe

Dude: I just made this cake for my wife for her birthday. She loves lemon flavored things and really enjoys blueberries. This was a hit. Thanks for helping me make her day, good job man!

Recipe cause i need it :) Set the oven to 350° Dry ingredients: 240g (2 cups) all-purpose flour 1⅔ cups granulated sugar (333g) ¼ tsp. kosher salt/salt 1½ tsp. baking powder Whisk it and set aside one tbs. of the dry mixture Wet ingredients: ¾ cup unsalted butter (170g) Cream the butter up on medium for a few seconds. Add in the dry ingredients including the sugar right into the butter and mix it up on medium low until its nice and crumbly. Again the wet ingredients(in a medium bowl): A half cup or 120ml of sour cream ½ cup of whole milk Lemon zest (a tablespoon/ two lemons worth) 3 tbs of lemon juice 3 egg whites Tbs of vanilla Mix it up :D Now combine the reserved dry mixture with the wet ingredient. With the mixture running low drizzle in the wet mixture in with the other wet mixture. Dump your blueberries in and mix it up ( 1½ cup fresh blueberries/120g) Add the mixture evenly into the pans :) Bake the cake for about 30 minutes or until the center is springy to the touch. Grab a half a cup of blueberries and put them on a plate then in the freezer. In a saucepan add one cup of blueberries, tablespoon of water, tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of sugar :) Place the saucepan on medium low heat and cook it down. Give it a stir and smash the blueberries. Turn off the heat until the blueberries become jammy. Set it aside to cool! Buttercream ingredients: 1½ /340g of softened unsalted butter (room temperature) Cream it up for a few seconds. 3tbsp of fresh lemon juice 6 cups of powdered sugar (720g) Mix on low and drizzle some lemon juice in. ½ tsp salt In a medium bowl transfer ¾ of a cup of the buttercream and flavour it with the blueberry reduction ( tablespoon at a time) and mix it up! Now decorate the cake. I don't know how much layers y'all use so decorate the cake by your choice! Then chill the cake and before serving put some blueberries on top ❤ Thats it!

I'm a fan of blueberry and lemon anything. We were married in 6 montgs ago and our wedding cake was lemon blueberry cake!

I just prepared this recipe with my fiance... 14 hours before our wedding! And it tastes INCREDIBLE!!!!!

I had a cook off for a job position, one of the products required was bread . I chose to make a brioche bread using John's method , measurements and ingredients. I did everything step by step. And I got the job ! I trust anything you make John . You're amazing 🙏

Hey man, thanks a lot for this recipe. My wife has been raving about this cake to her friends. I used to be a software engineer but the recurring brain fog from my severe covid made me unable to get back into coding. Because of your recipes, I'm now making decent money baking and selling cakes and bread. Thank you! ❤

I’ve made this cake a few times before and it was always a hit. I really love John’s cakes recipes. They truly are DELICIOUS. Thank you John for sharing them.

You know it’s a good day when John posts another baking video!!!

Pro CIA tip: Freeze your cakes hard before assembly and decoration. It makes assembly and decoration so much easier and the results really shine. Also, freezing the cakes immediately upon cooling keeps them very moist. -Got this from a CIA certificated wedding cake baker.

I love that you give measurements in grams as well. I very much prefer to cook using weight instead of volume because it is so much more accurate. Also appreciate that you often talk about why ingredients are used, very informative for newbies like myself.

Warning: cake strips are not just strips of fabric. If you just put wet strips of fabric around your cake pans, you will be disappointed. Cake strips are pieces of batting, covered with fabric. It's the batting that makes them work because it can retain moisture longer than "pieces of fabric". Good news, you can make your own cake strips with aluminum foil and paper toweling. Fold over the paper toweling until it's about 1/8 inch thick and will wrap around your cake pan. Lay it out onto a piece of foil that is longer than the paper toweling piece. Wet the paper and seal it in the foil. Wrap this around your cake pan and bend the ends of the foil to lock it in place. Better news, cake strips are not expensive and once you try making them you will happily purchase some. They are great and last forever.

I don't bake, I don't watch baking videos, I didn't want to send 16+ mins to watch a baking video BUT that cake in the thumbnail was just sooo stunning n delicious looking I had to watch the whole video 😂😂😂

My GF made me this cake for my birthday a month ago. One of the best cakes I ever had!!! Incredibly delicious!!!

My mother would have loved this, anything lemon was her favourite. Cheap turntable? Two cake pans with marbles between and attach a pizza pan to the top one.

Wish me luck!! It’s my daughter’s second birthday and I’m planning on making this cake for the big day! 😂

Can you show us how to make banana cookies? The other videos on them aren't that good, and you're the only channel I trust.

2:02 Coating the flour in the butter to prevent over-mixing? Sprinkling flour over blueberries to prevent them all from sinking?? Game-changer. May God bless you John, looks so delicious. Looks like the kind of delicious, light cake I wanted to bake to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ next month. May the peace of Christ be with you and your family x

A quick tip for everyone this man is amazing great family glad he’s here for us. I haven’t bought your book yet, but I will be buying it soon. Just got into an accident couple of months ago. It’s been terrible, but I’m surviving but back to the cake everybody what I did was, I refrigerated the cake overnight Then poured blueberry jam that I strained over the top but be careful not to go over the edges. Good luck JP from Miami.

Whoever this guy is married to .....congratulations!!! This homemade cake for a birthday 🎂 FOREVER!!!! omg... wow ♡

Another absolute banger from John just made this for my family and they are all going crazy it hasn't been out for 15 minutes and 3 quarters of it are gone
