Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 1/2 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup sugar together until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, measure out 1/2 cup self-raising flour.
- Gradually add the flour and the 1/2 cup milk to the butter mixture in 2-3 parts. Begin and end with the flour. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
- Stir in the 1/3 cup lemon juice gently until fully incorporated.
- Carefully fold in the 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can serve the cake as is, or dust with a little powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness. Enjoy your Lemon Berry Cake!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps in even mixing and better texture.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.
- Toss the blueberries in a little flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.
- If you like your cake extra lemony, add a bit more lemon zest and juice.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving to let the flavors meld and prevent crumbling.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
Congratulations! You've made a delicious Lemon Berry Cake that's sure to impress. The combination of tart lemon and sweet blueberries creates a perfect balance of flavors, while the moist cake melts in your mouth.
