The Best Lemon Blueberry Pie Pound Cake Recipe
Don’t forget to save this recipe! Here’s how to make my lemon blueberry pie pound cake:
Back in the day, the pound cake recipe was all about simplicity. Equal parts butter, sugar, eggs, and flour—nothing fancy, just a whole lot of flavor.
And how did it get its name? The original recipe actually used a pound of each ingredient, hence the catchy name “pound cake.”
As the pound cake recipe traveled around the world, it picked up a few souvenirs along the way. Bakers started adding their own twists, making each recipe their own. Think vanilla, lemon zest, chocolate chips, etc. In the southern states of America, bakers took pound cake to a whole new level adding flavors like bourbon, pecans, and peaches into the mix.
My take on the classic recipe: Lemon Blueberry Pie Pound Cake! A combination of the classic pound cake with tart lemon & sweet blueberry pie filling on top. I modified a recipe I found in my Grandma’s classic Betty Crocker cookbook – adding Greek yogurt for an extra dense, decadent texture.
