Lemon Velvet Blueberry Cake Recipe

Start by greasing an 18x6 cm (7x2.5 inches) baking pan with butter and lining it with silicone parchment paper. This will ensure that your cake doesn’t stick and comes out easily.

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with sugar and salt for about two minutes. During this step, add in your vanilla extract.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is fully incorporated, which should take about one minute per egg.

Next, incorporate the lemon zest and juice, mixing gently until combined.

Finally, sift in the flour and baking powder. Stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined, then use a mixer on low speed to blend until smooth.

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Preheat your oven to 170-175°C (338-347°F) and bake the cake for approximately 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-7 minutes before gently removing it and letting it cool completely on a wire rack.

For best results, wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-5 hours; this helps to enhance the flavor and texture.

Start by soaking the gelatin in water and letting it bloom.

In a small saucepan, combine the blueberry puree with glucose syrup and heat until it's warm, then add the bloomed gelatin and stir to dissolve completely.

Pour this mixture over the white chocolate and blend with an immersion blender until smooth.

Slowly add the cold heavy cream and blend again until you obtain a smooth emulsion.

Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 8-12 hours to allow it to set properly.

Once the ganache has set, whip it with a mixer until it's stable and pliable.

Use a piping bag fitted with a nozzle (like tip 1C) to pipe the ganache on top of the carefully trimmed cake. This will add a beautiful finish.

Chill the cake again for 20-30 minutes before serving.

Your delicious Lemon Velvet Blueberry Cake is now ready to be enjoyed! Slice and savor each flavorful bite.
