Lemon Blueberry Cake

Hi guys!

I’ve been going on strong on the chocolate lately so I thought a little change wouldn’t hurt. Not that this yummy Lemon Blueberry Cake will get you to lose weight. But that’s not why you’re here, are you? 😉

This Lemon Blueberry Cake is moist and not too heavy. Unless you’d eat a really large piece, which I don’t recommend. That being said, lemon lovers will absolutely LOVE this one. It’s got that rich lemon flavor, balanced with blueberries and a sweeter frosting. It’s not too sweet and not too lemonlike. The perfect cake 🙂

I wasn’t kidding about that really large piece though. As I was making this cake, I didn’t exactly think about the size… Luckily for me I have neighbours who love eating my creations because I managed to get 16 (!) servings out of this cake. So I suggest you make this for a party xD Totally not judging if you want to eat the whole damn thing yourself  by the way 😉

• 1 tablespoon flour (doesn’t matter what kind)
• 2 cake pans, 26 cm diameter (or 4 if you have hem)
