Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake - Long Pin - Flavor Mosaic

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.

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.

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?

After a long winter this year, I was looking for a cheerful recipe for spring. When I saw Marion’s Starbucks Lemon Loaf recipe on her blog, Life Tastes Good, it inspired me to make this recipe. What goes with lemon pound cake?  Blueberries of course.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon finely grated
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened. Equals 1 stick of butter.)

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
Prevent your screen from going dark

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.
  • Prepare the glaze by mixing 2 cups powdered sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Pour over the top and sides of the cooled cake.

      Hi Phyllis,

      Sorry I don’t have a low fat version of the recipe. You could certainly use low fat buttermilk without any problem to reduce the fat. However, the butter in a pound cake is what makes it a pound cake. So I don’t necessarily have a recommendation for how to reduce the butter in the recipe without affecting the taste and texture.

    WHOA this recipe is so good! Thank you! I didn’t have parchment paper, but rubbing the dish with butter beforehand was enough to make the dough not stick to the glass. Thank you thank you thank you this is so tasty ☺️
