If you don’t know how perfectly Blueberry and Lemon go together, this Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake Recipe will definitely prove it to you! It is sensational.

INGREDIENTS:

FOR POUND CAKE

• Cooking spray, for pan
• 1 c. butter, softened
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 c. plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 pt. fresh blueberries, some reserved for topping

FOR GLAZE

• 1 c. powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Make pound cake: Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9"-x-5" loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest and beat until combined.
2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. In a medium bowl, combine most of the blueberries with remaining 2 tablespoons flour and toss to coat. Fold floured blueberries into cake batter; reserve unfloured blueberries for topping.
3. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth top with a spatula. Sprinkle with reserved blueberries and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
4. Meanwhile, make glaze: in a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over cooled pound cake and serve.
