How to make Blueberry Lemon cake?

For the Blueberry Lemon cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 340 degrees F and prepare three 6-inch pans by greasing them with butter and dusting them with flour. For improved and even baking, I recommend using damp cake strips around the pans.

2. In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients, including the sugar, until well combined.

3. In a medium bowl, combine and beat the wet ingredients until well mixed.

4. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries and lemon zest with approximately 1-2 tablespoons of flour to coat them.

5. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until they are just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest at the end, being careful not to overmix.

6. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared cake pans.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the centers of the cakes are springy to the touch.

For the Reduction:

1. Place ½ cup of blueberries in the freezer to chill.

2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of blueberries, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mash the blueberries and stir the mixture over medium-low heat for a minute, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer until it has reduced by half. Strain the mixture into a small bowl and refrigerate to chill.

For the Lemon Buttercream:

1. In a stand mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Gradually sift in the confectioners’ sugar in a few batches. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix once more until the mixture becomes lighter in color and homogeneous.

2. Gradually add lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency and taste.

3. Transfer approximately 1/2-3/4 cup of the frosting to a small bowl. Add the blueberry reduction, one tablespoon at a time, and mix well until you reach the desired flavor.

4. Transfer the blueberry buttercream and an equal amount of lemon vanilla buttercream into separate piping bags. Snip off the tips of both bags. Place both bags inside a larger piping bag and snip off the tip. Additionally, transfer the remaining lemon buttercream into another piping bag.

For the Assembly:

1. Pipe a layer of blueberry/vanilla buttercream between each cake layer, ensuring even distribution. Then, apply a generous ring of lemon buttercream around the edge of the cake.

2. Pipe a layer of plain lemon buttercream around the sides of the cake, ensuring a smooth and even application. Use a scraper to remove any excess buttercream and create a naked crumb coat look. Smooth the sides of the cake for a clean and polished finish.

3. Using a large closed star tip (846), pipe a circle of dollops approximately 1 inch away from the edge of the cake.

4. Place frozen blueberries inside the piped dollop circle.

For the Assembly:

  • If you have leftover buttercream from decorating the naked cake, you can save it for cupcakes or freeze it for future use.
  • To prevent berries from sinking to the bottom of the pans, lightly coat the blueberries in a small amount of lemon juice and dust them with a tablespoon of flour. This will help them stay evenly distributed during baking.
  • When pouring the batter into the pans, ensure the blueberries are separated and not clumped together. You can use a spoon to move them around if needed.
  • Achieving a light edge on the cake layers is possible by using cake strips, which are wet fabric strips wrapped around the pan edges.
  • For accurate flour measurement, it is best to use a scale. If a scale is not available, fluff the flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into a measuring cup, and level it off with a knife.
