Decoration Ingredients

200 grams sugar fondant (7 ounces)
100 grams edible flowers (3.5 ounces)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are fully incorporated.

In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter until light and fluffy; this should take about 5 minutes. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter, alternating with the milk while mixing. Finally, beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is smooth.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

To make the filling, gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the lemon curd. Ensure that you distribute the blueberries evenly throughout the mixture for a perfect burst of flavor in each bite.

Step 3

Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between your prepared baking pans. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cool, level them with a knife if necessary. Place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of the lemon-blueberry filling on top. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process with the remaining filling.

Step 5

Decorate the Cake

For decoration, roll out the sugar fondant and cover the entire cake smoothly. You can use any leftover fondant to create decorative shapes or figures to place on the top of the cake. Finally, embellish the cake with edible flowers for a beautiful, vibrant touch.

Step 6

Final Touches

After decorating, style the cake as you desire and let it set for a while before serving. Enjoy your lemon-blueberry birthday cake with family and friends—this cake is sure to be a hit!

Servings

When it comes to serving your Lemon-Blueberry cake, presentation is everything! Picture this: a tall, fluffy cake layered with luscious blueberry filling, topped with a light lemon frosting and garnished with fresh blueberries. Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Serve it on a beautiful cake stand to elevate the experience!

Pair your cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast and a splash of color! Feeling festive? Set up a charming picnic spread with colorful plates, napkins, and perhaps a refreshing lemonade for your guests to enjoy.✨🍋

For a more intimate gathering, slice the cake into neat pieces and arrange them on individual dessert plates. Add a sprig of mint for a pop of freshness. This cake is not just a dessert; it’s an experience that brings everyone together! 🎉

Faq

  • What if my cake doesn’t rise properly?

    Ensure your baking powder is fresh and not expired. Over-mixing the batter can also cause a dense cake, so mix just until combined.

  • How can I tell when my cake is done baking?

    Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it's ready! Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time.

  • Can I bake this cake in advance?

    Absolutely! You can bake the cake layers a day or two ahead. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to frost and serve.

  • Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?

    Yes! Just ensure to thaw and drain excess moisture from the berries for better results.

  • How do I prevent my cake from cracking on top?

    Avoid opening the oven door too early. If your oven runs hot, you might need to lower the temperature slightly.

  • What decorations can I add to make the cake more festive?

    Try edible flowers, a drizzle of lemon glaze, or colorful sprinkles for a celebratory touch!
