Lemon cake with blueberry filling from scratch
11:36 AM
Hi guys!
Today I have a cake recipe that is not
chocolate! Can you believe it? Me neither 😛
Well my nephews don't love chocolate as much
as I do, so when they came over last week, I baked a lemon cake with blueberry
filling for them and they loved it. That's why I'm shearing this simple recipe with you, so you can impress your loved ones with it 😉
INGREDIENTS:
For cake:
230 g of butter (room temperature)
250 g of sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of lemon zest
200 ml of milk
60 ml of lemon juice
400 g of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
½ a teaspoon of salt
For filling:
500 g of mascarpone cheese
50 g of sugar
500 g of blueberries
For decor:
500 g of mascarpone cheese
some blueberries and some slices of lemon
DIRECTIONS:
Let's bake:
Mix butter and sugar. Add 3 eggs, lemon zest
and vanilla extract. Take two bowls. The first one is for dry ingredients
(flour, baking powder and salt) – mix with a spatula to make even. The second bowl
is for milk and lemon juice – mix until well combined. Now it's time to slowly
add some dry ingredients in butter mixture. Mix well and add some milk with
lemon. Continue until you add everything. Bake in preheated oven at 180℃ for about 40 minutes. Let cool.
Make the filling:
While the cake is cooling, mix mascarpone
cheese (500 g) with sugar (50 g). Wash and dry the blueberries.
Time to assemble:
Cut the cake in half. Bottom one should go to
the top. because it's usually more even and it looks nicer. So take the top one
and put it on you serving plate. Spread the mixture of mascarpone cheese with
sugar on top. Not put on top your blueberries. Use palms of your hands to push
them inside the cream. Put on top the bottom part of your cake and cover with
mascarpone cheese. Decorate with some blueberries and lemon slices.
Bon apetit! 😋
