Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 15

Ingredients

  • 3 sticks unsalted butter, softened (339g)
  • 3 cups sugar (600g)
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature (if you are in a hurry, place in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes)
  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour (not self-rising) (375g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder (2g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (3g)
  • 1 cup sour cream (242g)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice approx amount in one small lemon
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract (4g)
  • 2 teaspoon lemon extract (8g)
  • 1 ½ cups Blueberries fresh or frozen

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1-2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice adjust amount as needed for desired consistency
  • zest of one lemon
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • In a separate bowl whisk the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine, set aside for later.
  • Cream the butter with the paddle attachment in your mixer, gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time blending after each to incorporate.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract.
  • While mixing on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream mixture to the butter, sugar, & egg mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. (I add the flour mixture three times and the sour cream mixture twice). Mix just until incorporated.
  • Fold in the blueberries
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes if using fresh blueberries. Baking times may increase 10-15 minutes or more if using frozen blueberries. Check on the cake as it nears the 1 hour mark and adjust additional time as needed. When an inserted toothpick or skewer comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, it is ready.
  • This recipe makes approximately 8-8.5 cups of batter.

For the Lemon Glaze

  • Combine sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the pound cake. (I spooned mine into a piping bag with the tip snipped away for more control.) Sprinkle lemon zest over the top. If the glaze is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add a bit more juice or a touch of milk.
  • Garnish with a sprinkling of lemon zest.
