Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter

  • 1 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

  • 3/4 cup Sour Cream

  • 3 Eggs

  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

  • 3 cups Cake Flour

  • 1 tsp Salt

  • 3 tsp Baking Powder

  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk

  • Zest and Juice of 1 Fresh Squeezed Lemon

  • 2 cups Fresh Blueberries

  • Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese

  • 2 cups Unsalted Butter (room temperature)

  • 7 cups Confectioners Sugar

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • Zest and Juice of 1 Fresh Squeezed Lemon

  • Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh Blueberries

  • Lemon Slices

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Prepare two 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper and cooking spray.
  • Cream together Unsalted Butter and Granulated Sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • On low speed, slowly add in the Sour Cream, Eggs and Vegetable Oil. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to mix until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together Cake Flour, Salt and Baking Powder.
  • In another small bowl, combine buttermilk, lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon.
  • On low speed, slowly add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture followed by 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture. Then add another 1/3 of the flour mixture and the remaining 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture. Finally, add the remaining flour mixture and continue to mix on medium-low speed until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in blueberries with a spatula until they are evenly dispersed.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
  • Bake at 350° F for 45-50 min, or until the cake springs back when gently touched.
  • Remove cakes from the oven and allow them to cool for 15 minutes before removing them from the pans.

    Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add Unsalted Butter and Cream Cheese and beat on medium speed until combined.
  • Add Confectioners Sugar in two batches and continue to mix on low speed.
  • Add Salt, Lemon Zest and Lemon Juice and mix on Medium-High speed for 2-3 minutes, occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl.
  • Frost the cake with a thin layer of frosting as a crumb coat, and chill the cake for 30 minutes. Frost the cake with an additional layer of frosting, using the tip of the spoon to add texture to the sides.
  • Garnish with lemon slices and fresh blueberries. Enjoy!
