Key Ingredients for Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup milk
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish if desired)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with lemon glaze before serving if desired.

Top Tips for Perfecting Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cake

Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If you have frozen blueberries, make sure to toss them in some flour to prevent them from sinking.
Substitutions: If you don’t have unsalted butter, you can use margarine or a Halal-friendly butter substitute.
Timing is Key: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before putting the cake in. This ensures an evenly baked cake.
Avoid Overmixing: Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mix just until combined for a light and airy cake texture.

Storing and Reheating Tips

To keep your Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cake fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to store it for a longer period, freeze it for up to 3 months. For best results, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in a freezer-safe container.

When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and serve at room temperature or warm it in the oven at a low temperature to refresh its delightful flavors.

Creating this delicious Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cake takes just a little bit of time and effort but results in a heavenly treat that is sure to bring joy to any gathering. So grab your apron and get baking; this cake is waiting to delight your taste buds! Happy baking!
