Рецепт Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Cake
This post is dedicated to my friends at CookSnap. Thank you for your wonderful work, you made one of my dreams come to life!
I love blueberries but only in smoothies and desserts, like in my Lemon Blueberry Cake … I’m not sure why I just can’t munch on blueberries as a snack like I do with grapes, strawberries, or cherries! Are you like me?
I bought a large box of fresh blueberries and I knew what to do with them the moment I saw them sitting close to another box of lemon.
My Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Cake is something you can never have enough of, and no, I’m not bragging about it because I made it but because the combination is just too heavenly. I mean how can one resist the smell of freshness brought by the lemon zest and the jelly like consistency presented by the blueberries, and let’s not forget the moist and light texture of this cake which was a contribution of the buttermilk.
This cake will remind you of pound cake except it’s lighter, more succulent, and aromatic.
