Lemon cake with blueberries

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C/350°F. Zest lemon, reserving some zest for garnish. In a stand mixer, combine egg, vanilla sugar, sugar, a pinch of salt and some of lemon zest. Squeeze in some of the lemon juice and beat until frothy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Once it is molten and at a lukewarm temperature, carefully beat into batter.

Step 3

Set aside some of the blueberries for garnish. Use a little bit of flour to coat blueberries. Now add flour, baking powder, and coated blueberries to dough. Beat until ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Line a round baking form with parchment paper and pour in batter. Gently tap form on counter to release air bubbles. Place baking form into oven and bake for approx. 1 h 10 min. at 170°C/350°F until cake is golden brown and fragrant. Allow cake to cool for approx. 10 — 15 min. and then carefully transfer to a plate and let it cool fully.

Step 5

For the icing, whisk together confectioner’s sugar and juice from the remaining lemon. Evenly spread over cake. Garnish with the remaining blueberries and remaining lemon zest.

Step 6

Enjoy as a snack with a cup of coffee or for dessert!
