Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake image

A friend gave me this wonderful recipe for Lemon Pound Cake. I decided to add blueberries and lemon zest. The results are YUMMY!! This recipe really fills up a standard bundt pan...so what I do is use a bundt pan and a loaf pan, so I get two cakes. I freeze the loaf cake or give it as a gift. Or, you can just make one huge cake!

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cup(s) all purpose flour
3 cup(s) sugar
2 stick(s) butter, softened
3 teaspoon(s) lemon extract
1/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
8 ounce(s) sour cream
6 - eggs
- lemon zest, grated from 1 lemon
1 1/2 cup(s) blueberries, fresh or frozen (optional)
2 tablespoon(s) butter
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
- lemon juice to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare your pan(s) with grease and flour. I use the spray can "Joy".
  • Sift flour and baking soda in a bowl and swet aside.
  • Mix softened butter and sugar in mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Add flour to sugar/butter alternately with eggs, adding the eggs one at a time and beating until blended.
  • Add sour cream and lemon extract and mix until smooth and creamy. Add zest from a lemon and mix briefly.
  • Add the blueberries and stir gently.
  • If using a loaf pan, it should bake for about 35 mins.... the bundt pan will take about an hour.. If using all the batter in a bundt pan, it will take up to 1 hr 30 mins. Allow cake to cool about 10 minutes and remove from pan. Put Lemon Glaze on cake while it is still hot.
  • LEMON GLAZE: melt 2 TB butter in a small bowl and add about a cup of powdered sugar. Whisk it together and add your lemon juice. Then pour over the cake(s) while they are still hot.
