Equipment

  • 8-inch round cake pans
  • large bowl
  • Whisk
  • measuring cup and spoon
  • lemon zester
  • medium bowl
  • large bowl
  • Hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix + ingredients from the back
  • Juice of 1 lemon + 1 tablespoon divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • Fresh lemon slices and blueberries for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray two 8 inch round cake pans with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix plus ingredients on the back of the box.
  • Add in lemon zest and the juice of 1 lemon, and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, add the flour, and toss the blueberries into the flour. This can help keep the blueberries from sinking.
  • Shake off the excess flour and add the blueberries to the cake mix, and gently fold them in.
  • Pour batter evenly between the cake pans.
  • Bake at 350 according to the time on the box, but also adding 2-3 extra minutes since we added the blueberries.
  • A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean (minus blueberry) when the cake is finished baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  • To make the frosting, in a large bowl use a hand mixer to mix together softened butter and powdered sugar until well incorporated.
  • Add vanilla, milk, and 1 tbsp. lemon juice, mix well until frosting forms and is well combined.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add milk, 1 tbsp. at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Frost your bottom layer of your cake, set the top layer on, and frost again, then top with fresh lemon slices and fresh blueberries.
