Trial-running recipes for Easter brunch...fresh blueberries and I had to pull the cake away from the taste-testers (who followed the delicious aromas from outside) before it was all gone! This recipe was so very simple that I read and re-read the directions thinking I was missing steps! I followed exact directions and everyone LOVED it. The brightness of the lemon adds to cake. Thanks, this pound cake will be in my regular go-to recipes!

This is going to be a long review so that it'll help me the next time I make this cake... This is really a terrific cake recipe! Very quick to throw together and a very moist finished product. Prior to adding the blueberries, the batter was extrememly thick. I was concerned about this so I added 1 tablespoon of water I didn't think about the blueberries giving off juice as it cooked. My oven may be a little slow (despite the oven thermomether showing 350) and I had to bake it about 15 minutes extra. I dusted the blueberries with less than a tablespoon of powdered sugar. The only changes I made were to reduce the amount of cream chesse to about 6 ounces instead of 8 (because that's all I had on hand) and I added about a teaspoon of grated lemon peel to the batter. For the glaze, I used 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice. This might have been a little too much as the glaze was a little runny. I like lemon, so it's not really a big deal. Next time (and there will be a next time), I'll try adding the lemon juice to the confectioner's sugar a tablespoon at a time (instead of dumping it all in at once) in order to have more control of the consistency of the glaze. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful cake recipe!!!
