I love Spring. Mr. Flavor Mosaic loves Spring because of the start of baseball season. I love Spring because of the beautiful weather and wonderful flavors of Spring, such as lemons because they add a little sunshine to each recipe, especially these Cakey Lemon Blueberry Brownies.
I love these Cakey Lemon Blueberry Brownies not only because they are delicious, but also because they are so easy. To ensure these lemon brownies are the best they can be, I recommend using the juice from fresh lemons and not lemon extract, or bottled lemon juice, as those can be much too strong. If they are available, I recommend using fresh blueberries. However, frozen blueberries could work as well. It is also best to bring the eggs and butter to room temperature.
An easy topping for these brownies is Whipped Cream with fresh blueberries and lemon zest. Another way to serve these Cakey Lemon Blueberry Brownies would be to top them with the blueberry sauce from my Blueberry Strawberry French Toast Casserole.
