Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Cake

Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

A flavorful sour cream blueberry cake base with poppy seeds. With the added flavors of lemon and blueberry and an easy glaze topping, this is the perfect brunch recipe! This lemon blueberry poppy seed cake is full of flavor and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Poppy Seed Cake

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons lemon peel
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoons salt
  • ½ cup sour cream

Blueberry Topping

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Glaze

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Cream the butter and sugar together, and then add in the lemon
      peel and egg.
    3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix to incorporate.
    4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients a little at a time, alternating with sour cream and mixing as you go.
    5. Spray a 9-10 inch spring-form pan with non-stick cooking spray and add the cake mixture to the pan, pushing it down along the bottom of the pan and about an inch up the sides.
