Recipe: Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake

PAIRS WITH:

SUNSTONE 2020 GRENACHE ROSÉ

INGREDIENTS

Pound Cake:

  • Cooking spray, for pan
  • 1 cup, softened butter
  • 1 cup, granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 cups plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries, some reserved for topping

Glaze:

  • 1 cup, powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp., lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make pound cake: Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9″-x-5″ loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest and beat until combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. In a medium bowl, combine most of the blueberries with remaining 2 tablespoons flour and toss to coat. Fold floured blueberries into cake batter; reserve unfloured blueberries for topping.
  3. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth top with a spatula. Sprinkle with reserved blueberries and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  4. Meanwhile, make glaze: in a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over cooled pound cake and serve.
