Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

This Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake is a moist, luscious, buttery, lemon pound cake made with beautiful fresh blueberries throughout and glazed with a sweet, tangy lemon icing. It is similar to the Iced Lemon Pound Cake found at Starbucks but with the addition of fresh blueberries.

If you love the Iced Lemon Pound Cake at Starbucks, then you HAVE to try this Glazed Lemon Pound Cake. It tastes amazing! I probably use that word too much, but it is the first word that comes to mind when I take a bite of this cake.

In addition to its fabulous taste, why spend the money at Starbucks when you can have this awesome Glazed Lemon Pound Cake at home any time you want.

Plus it freezes well, so you can save some for later, or double the recipe an make another pound cake to share with your family, friends, and neighbors. It makes a great gift. Who doesn’t love Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake?

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 9" x 5" loaf pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper with the paper hanging over the sides.
• In a small bowl, pour in buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat the butter and sugar.
• Add 1 egg at a time, mixing well in between each egg.
• While mixing the batter on low speed, add the flour mixture and then the buttermilk mixture until batter is smooth. Do not over mix.
• In a small bowl toss the blueberries with about 2 tablespoons of flour to coat them. (This prevents the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake.)
• Stir in the flour-covered blueberries.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Using a spatula spread the batter so it is spread out evenly in the pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool completely.
