CREAM CHEESE LEMON BLUEBERRY POUND CAKE RECIPE

Cream Cheese Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe. Moist and creamy lemony pound cake studded with sweet plump blueberries.


There is nothing like a great pound cake! Let me reiterate the word “great” because a bad pound cake can be just as memorable as a great pound cake but for all the wrong reasons. Rest assured this Cream Cheese Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake is G-R-E-A-T!! The texture is moist, slightly dense and completely melts away like butter as you begin to chew it. This is what every cup of coffee or tea needs each morning.

I really loved watching this one bake, the top turned a beautiful shade of golden brown and the sweet aroma that filled the house was super enticing.

While the Cream Cheese Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake cooled (completely) I began to work on the topping. Did I want a runny glaze? Powdered sugar? Creamy, silky, sweet and tangy topping? Yes! that was the one, the creamy, silky, sweet and tangy topping. Cream Cheese Glaze to be exact. This pound cake just seemed worthy of a topping that could hold up to anything with pound in the name. A wimpy glaze (though they have their place) was not going to do here. But I should be clear that this is a softer topping. A bit softer than a frosting but stiffer than a runny glaze. Thats what makes it so wonderful, it melts away with the cake as you are eating it.
