Main ingredients for lemon blueberry cake

This cake comes together with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen-

Blueberries – Either fresh or frozen blueberries can be used. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before using.
All-purpose flour – Gives structure to the cake. You can use whole wheat flour, but the cake will be slightly denser. Gluten free flour can also be used.
Sugar – Sweetens and balances the tartness of lemon.
Baking powder – Helps the cake rise.
Salt – Helps balance out the sweet flavors.
Milk – Adds moisture; can use dairy or plant-based milk for a vegan version.
Oil – Keeps the cake soft and prevents dryness.
Lemon juice & zest – They bring out a refreshing citrusy taste.
Vanilla extract – Adds depth to the flavor.

Tips for making the perfect lemon blueberry cake

Follow these simple tips to ensure your eggless lemon blueberry cake turns out soft, flavorful, and perfect every time!

Coat blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter—this prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
Use fresh lemon zest for the best citrus flavor; bottled lemon juice lacks the same freshness.
Mix the batter gently—overmixing can make the cake dense instead of light and fluffy.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing to maintain its soft, moist texture.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw—add them directly to the batter to prevent excess moisture.

Best toppings & frostings for lemon blueberry cake

You can enjoy the cake as is, or enhance it with your choice of delicious toppings — from light glazes to rich frostings!

Lemon Glaze – You can drizzle a quick and easy glaze made with powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice. It adds a glossy, sweet-tart finish that enhances the citrusy notes of the cake.
Cream Cheese Frosting – For a creamier option, a smooth cream cheese frosting balances the tanginess of the lemon while adding a slight sweetness. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a hint of lemon zest for extra freshness.
Whipped Cream with Lemon Zest – If you prefer something lighter, fresh whipped cream is a great choice. Whip heavy cream with a little powdered sugar and fold in some lemon zest for a refreshing touch.
Powdered Sugar Dusting – A simple sprinkle of powdered sugar is a no-fuss way to add a delicate sweetness.
Blueberry Compote – For even more blueberry goodness, a homemade blueberry compote is a perfect topping. Just cook fresh or frozen blueberries with a bit of sugar and lemon juice until they become thick and syrupy. Spoon it over slices of cake for a burst of fruity flavor.

Serving suggestions

This cake is a treat on its own, but pairing it the right way makes it even better! Enjoy a slice with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon break. The lemon’s tangy notes go especially well with herbal teas like chamomile or mint.

For a refreshing summer dessert, serve the cake chilled with a scoop of vanilla or lemon ice cream. The creamy cold texture balances out the bright citrus flavors perfectly. If you’re hosting a brunch, add a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey for a slightly tangy, healthier twist.
