Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake with a Honey Glaze

Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups (210g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh or frozen blueberries

For the honey glaze:

  • 1/2 cup (110g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) honey

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
  6. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the honey glaze:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and honey over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
  3. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

To serve:

  1. Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the honey glaze over the top of the cake.
  2. Slice and serve.
