Here's our recipe:
Lemon Pound Cake with Blueberry Sauce
1 1/2 C butter, room temperature
2 1/2 C sugar
5 eggs
1 t vanilla
1/2 C heavy cream
1/3 C fresh lemon juice
3 C flour
3 T corn starch
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
1 T lemon zest
Preheat your oven to 350℉. Prepare your bundt pan or 2 loaf pans by greasing and coating with flour.
In a large bowl cream together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add your eggs, one at a time, mixing in between each addition. Mix in your vanilla.
In a separate bowl, sift together your flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt.
Pour cake mix into your prepared pan(s) and bake at 350℉ for approximately 80-90 minutes for the bunt pan and 45-55 minutes for your two loaf pans. Remove cake from the oven and allow it to cool at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve with delicious Blueberry Sauce.
Blueberry Sauce
3 C blueberries
1/4 C honey
2 T granulated sugar
3/4 C water
1 t corn starch
1 t lemon zest
In a sauce pan over medium-low heat, combine your water and corn starch. Stir to dissolve the corn starch completely. Next, add your blueberries, honey and sugar and turn the heat up to medium-high to bring the ingredients to a boil, stirring gently. Boil blueberries for about 3-4 minutes then turn sauce down to a simmer and allow to thicken to your desired consistency. Before removing sauce from the heat, stir in your lemon zest.
Pour warm Blueberry Sauce over a slice of Lemon Pound Cake and enjoy!
