    Dragon's Lemon Blueberry Cake
    Recipe by Dragon

    This is one of my most requested cakes. It's a lovely combination of lemon and blueberries. It is fresh, light and moist. Don't skip the glaze! The limoncello in the glaze gives it a wonderful zing. Enjoy!

    Ingredients:


    2 ¾ cup of flour
    1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
    ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
    ¼ teaspoon of salt
    1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
    1 ¾ cup of sugar
    4 eggs
    2 tablespoons of lemon juice
    1 tablespoon of lemon zest
    1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
    1 cup of buttermilk
    ½ cup sour cream
    1 ½ cups of blueberries tossed in 1 tablespoon of flour
    1/2 blueberries for garnish

    Glaze:
    1 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar
    4 teaspoons of lemon juice
    3 teaspoons of limoncello (or replace this with 3 teaspoons of lemon juice)
    1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or corn syrup)
    Lemon zest for garnish (optional)

    Directions:

    1. Heat oven to 350. Butter and flour a 12 inch bundt pan.

    2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

    3. In another large bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add sugar and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Add sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla and beat until combined.

    4. Beat in flour in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat for 2 minutes on medium-high. Fold in blueberries. Spoon into prepared pan.

    5. Bake at 350 for 50 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan. Turn out and cool completely.

    6. For the glaze, in a small bowl, mix together confectioner’s sugar, lemon juice, limoncello and syrup until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the cake and let it roll down the sides.

    What is limoncello?

    It is an Italian Lemon Liqueur. Danny Devito made it famous when he appeared on the View a little tipsy from drinking too much of the stuff the night before. I had never heard of it before then.

    As it says, you can use lemon juice instead.
