One of my favorite things to make is handmade cake, especially for birthdays. When my son, Carson, turned five years old, I told him he could have any cake he wanted, and he chose blueberry cake.
I'd never attempted to make a homemade blueberry cake before, but I created him the most wonderful homemade blueberry lemon cake, which he adored! Now it's time to share the recipe with you!
I have many popular cake recipes on Modern Honey, like my Lemon Olive Oil Cake, Lemon Raspberry Cake with fresh raspberries and cream cheese frosting,
and my easy Citrus Sheet Cake with fresh lemon, orange, and lime. I have over 50 cake recipes on Modern Honey for you to try! This lemon blueberry cake recipe could become one of your absolute favorites.
I am going to offer all of my secrets for baking the best homemade cakes. For this lemon berry cake, I like to combine oil and buttermilk to make a wonderfully moist cake with a soft crumb.
Say goodbye to dry cakes. In addition, the fresh blueberries provide just the right amount of wetness.
Oil — I would suggest using canola, vegetable or olive oil in this cake recipe. Eggs — use large egg Buttermilk — this adds a tender texture but you can also substitute with whole milk.
Fresh Lemon Juice — the freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the cake the perfect amount of bright, fresh flavor and tang.
