This Lemon and Blueberry Gooey Butter Cake comprises of two layers that get made separately, then layered together and baked. There is a traditional sponge recipe, and a creamy topping which only needs a few ingredients! This is a pretty easy bake, but one that makes a wonderful change from a classic lemon cake and is sure to impress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a really fun recipe to have up your sleeve for any occasion – this travels well and keeps happily in a cake tin. The dusting of icing sugar at the end makes for a stunning dessert for a dinner party or date night. That said, it will also fit in beautifully at a BBQ or Summery picnic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lemon and blueberry combination is a real classic. If you want to play about and experiment with similar berries and citrus, please do! I imagine blackberries and lime would work great, as would orange with raspberries. The resulting cake is a contrast of textures and flavours, with the fluffy sponge and the creamy topping and the almost caramelised edges on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When baking, you can expect to see the edges turning dark whilst the middle still looks wobbly. Trust the process! Keep the cake on the middle shelf. If you’re concerned that it is really too wobbly while the top gets too dark, use a piece of tin foil to ‘tent’ the cake. ‘Tenting’ with tin foil is the act of covering a cake with foil, creating a barrier that prevents as much direct heat from hitting the top of the cake. This means that the centre continues to cook without the top burning! When you do take the cake out, the centre may still have just the slightest wobble – this is perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
