How To Make Lemon Blueberry Cake
- Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- Lightly grease 2 x 20cm / 8inch cake tins.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy (this takes about 15 minutes) Scrape the bowl when necessary.
- Slowly add one egg at a time, and combine until all the eggs have been added.
- Combine the flour and salt in a bowl and in a separate bowl, combine the Amasi and lemon juice.
- Add ½ of flour to the mama bake mix and mix until just combined, followed by half of the Amasi mix and mix until just combined.
- Repeat this until all the flour and Amasi have been added.
- Toss the Blueberries through the 1tbs flour.
- This step helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom.
- Fold the Blueberries through the cake batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 2 cake tins.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes OR until a skewer comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before icing the cake.
- Cream cheese frosting:
- Beat the cream cheese and lemon juice and zest until lump free.
- Add the Mama Bake Margarine and beat until combined. Add the icing sugar and mix for a few minutes until it is light and fluffy.
- Careful not to over mix.
