Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
3. In another bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest/juice.
4. Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just mixed. Gently fold in blueberries.
5. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. While cooling, prepare the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese until smooth; then mix in sour cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until creamy.
7. Once cakes are cool, layer them with half the cheesecake filling between them and the rest on top. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
Notes
Swap blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile. For added zing, incorporate lemon zest into the frosting.
