One of the most important things I try to do in the
winter is to infuse as much flavor into my cooking and baking. Food in the
summer is easy. Everything is in season and fresh but the winter offers a great
challenge.
This dessert offers everything we love in the winter,
comfort food combined with blueberries and lemons.
Two things make sure your pan is well greased and allow
the cake to cool thoroughly before glazing.
This cake is not only delicious but so pretty
Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

- 1/3 cup butter, softened

- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries

Start creaming butter, cream cheese and
sugar.

Next add lemon peel and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients;
flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
·
Very gently alternate lemon yogurt and dry
ingredients to the wet ingredients. I folded it in very gently. Add flour to
the blueberries and gently fold them into the cake batter.

After the cake is thoroughly cooled and pour
glaze onto the pound cake.
