Zest of 1 lemon

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

4-5 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup vanilla extract

1/2 cup blueberry puree (fresh or cooked blueberries blended)

Milk as needed for consistency

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup blueberry puree

2 tbsp milk (if needed)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

      In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

          In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to coat. This helps prevent them from sinking in the batter.

            Gently fold the blueberries into the cake batter until evenly distributed.

              Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth out the tops.

                Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                      In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.

                        Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until light and fluffy.

                          Stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, blend in a few fresh blueberries for a subtle flavor and color.

                            Frost the cooled blueberry velvet cakes evenly. Decorate with additional blueberries on top if desired.

                              Assembly:

                                Place one layer of the blueberry cake on a serving platter. Spread a layer of blueberry cream cheese frosting on top.

                                  Gently place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

                                    Garnish with extra blueberries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

                                      Slice and serve to enjoy your stunning Blueberry Velvet Cake!
