    Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Cake – As you can tell from my blog, I’m not fond of frosting cakes and decorating it, I love my cakes to look simple but have a mind blowing flavor.

    This loaf cake is moist, has tender crumbs and the blueberries gave it a beautiful look and added to its flavor. I love blueberries but only in smoothies and desserts, I’m not sure why I just can’t munch on blueberries as a snack like I do with grapes, strawberries, or cherries! Are you like me?

    I bought a large box of fresh blueberries and I knew what to do with it the moment I saw it sitting close to a box of lemon at the grocery shop.

    My Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Cake is something you can never have enough of, and no, I’m not bragging about it because I made it but because the combination is just too heavenly.

    I mean how can one resist the smell of freshness brought by the lemon zest and the jelly like consistency presented by the blueberries, and let’s not forget the moist and light texture of this cake which was a contribution of the buttermilk.

    This cake will remind you of pound cake except it’s lighter, more succulent, and aromatic. But in case you are craving pound cake at the moment, then I have something you will like. Check the recipes below:

        Hi John, there is no lemon juice in this recipe, but the lemon taste and aroma comes from the lemon zest 🙂

      Growing up, I didn't know about buttermilk as it's not a common ingredient in Japan. After I tried it in pancake recipe, I got hooked! It tastes so much better! Now I need to try it in the cake too! Your blueberry+ lemon cake look so delicious!

      Thank you so much Muna! So excited to try this cake! Do you think yogurt would be a good substitute for buttermilk? I don't think I can get buttermilk here in Japan 🙁

        Hi Felice, you can make buttermilk by adding one and 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice to 3/4 cup milk, mix well and keep aside for 5 minutes, and you have your buttermilk ready 🙂

        Hi Shalini, Thanks for stopping by. I think the whole recipe will change if you add any other type of liquid to it. Use blueberry or other type of fruit like dates.

        You can use frozen blueberries, but make sure to add them to the batter while they are frozen and do not over mix the batter otherwise the blueberries will bleed!
