Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

This was great. I did not do any of the fat-reducing techniques and I used dried blueberries. It did get pretty dark, so I recommend a lower oven shelf or a sheet of aluminum foil over it for at least 1/2 the cooking time. Doubled it, it made it two really chubby loaves (using the long and thin European style loaf-pans) and glazed it with the juice of two lemons mixed with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup limoncello. I originally made it as a 'thank you' gift, but in the end decided it was too good to give away! LOL. I bought him a bottle of wine instead.

Made this as a treat for my kids and husband - at first they saw the blueberries (and the whole wheat color, I always use ww instead of regular flour) - and they turned their noses saying eww. But then they tasted it...and the room fell silent. moments later they were asking for a second piece! woohoo! a success! Thank you for this yummy recipe. BTW - I used this in a bundt pan, sprayed with PAM for baking, it came out of the pan without a hitch. Pam Baking Spray is the bomb! Also - for those who choose not to use the lemon icing, you're missing out. It really makes the cake.

Delicious buttery pound cake, and without the heavyness you often find in this kind of cake. For Easter Dessert my Great Aunt Always made a Box Mix pound cake in a lamb shaped cake mold that's iced with vanilla Italian icing and covered in coconut. Last year she passed the mold to me. I made it exactly as she always had, but this year I couldn't resist trying something different. This turned out very well (the mold is about = to an 8" loaf pan and cooked perfectly in 55 minutes). I didn't make the glaze obviously as I used our usual icing/coconut. It tastes more like blueberry cake to me though. The lemon didn't come through. Next time I would add lemon zest or extract. I got the cake + 12 cupcakes. I didn't have enough berries for both so I only used them in the lamb portion. Without the berries the cupcakes came out wonderfully too (again more vanilla/buttery then lemony). Baked about 23 minutes for the cupcakes. I'll keep this recipe around!

never fails to please -- I agree you need to grease and flour pan to assure release -- I make a very tart glaze with 4 T lemon jouice and powedered sugar to make a thin glaze and give the whole cake a one-over while it is still warm.

This was yummy! I too had the problem of the first cake coming apart when I tried to flip it out of the pan ~~ it didn't stop us from eating it though! The second time I had more success by greasing and flouring the pan and using fewer blueberries (the first cake seemed to fall apart where a lot of the blueberries settled in the cake). Overall a delicious cake that is perfect for a PTA meeting or church social. The glaze was very good and the combination of blueberry and lemon was exquisite. The only changes I made were: regular cream cheese, 1 cup of frozen blueberries, margarine to grease the pan and regular butter. I cooked it in a bundt pan for 65 minutes -- perfectly moist! Thanks for posting!

I have been making this since it was originally published in Cooking Light. It is a really good cake, dense and full of blueberries. This is a keeper, one of my all time favorite blueberry recipes. Thanks for posting.

This was so good... stood up to all our substitutions, like 1/2 sugar and applesauce etc. ALSO tried adding a layer of custard in the middle of the batter and was AMAZING!

Wow! I made this cake for a cookout, only DH wouldn't let it out the door it was so good. I did make a couple of changes to make it a little less fatting. I used Baking Slenda instead of sugar and fat-free cream cheese. It still tasted wonderful. It is now my hubby's favorite! Thanks for posting!

This is an awesome blueberry pound cake. So moist! I used the neufchatel cream cheese and french vanilla yogurt with 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice. My grocery store did not carry lemon yogurt. The substitutions were fine. I will definitely be making this again!!!

This is absolutely delicious, and it looks awesome! I had a bit of trouble finding lemon yogurt (not a common flavour here) the one I did find had a sort of lemon 'topping' in the pottle, worked fine anyway. The only problem I had was it stuck to the tin and I was sooo upset! But after some careful doctoring it came together just fine. It really has a delightful flavour and is so light and moist. Thanks for sharing. :)

Its like a giant glazed blueberry muffin. Fantastic flavor, just a hint of lemon!! I used a bundt pan and I don't think I used enough spray bacause half of the cake stayed in the pan. Oh, but the cake tasted great anyways. My fault. Other than that everything worked fine.

This is our favorite blueberry cake recipe of all time! We love the marriage of blueberries and lemon. I have made this and taken it to many events and it always goes quickly.

Chia you rock.. I wonder why the recipe does not call for neufchatel cream cheese I suppose if I try it it will blow up on me , wish me luck. I know why mess with perfection? but am trying to shave off a little more fat. This is really very good as is and is inserted in our "regulars"

I made this for the Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game. It was delicious! The cake was dense and very moist. The glaze added a nice lemony kick to the cake. I didn't make an changes to the ingredients, and I baked it in a bundt pan for 75 minutes. I'll be making this cake again. Thanks, Kimbearly!
