Topped with tangy lemon cream, this classic pound cake is dotted with fresh blueberries within.

Ingredients

1 lb. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. Coarse salt
3 stick softened unsalted butter
1/2 c. sour cream
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
9 large room-temperature eggs
2 c. blueberries
2 tbsp. Sanding sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter two 5- by 9-inch loaf pans. Combine flour and salt in a bowl.
Cream butter, sour cream, and sugar with a mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy, for 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium, and add vanilla extract.
Lightly beat eggs, and add to mixer bowl in 4 additions, mixing thoroughly after each and scraping down sides. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 4 additions, mixing until just incorporated. Toss blueberries in remaining 2 tablespoons flour; fold into finished batter. Divide batter between pans. Tap on counter to distribute; smooth tops.
Before baking, sprinkle sanding sugar over each cake. Bake until a tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 65 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire rack.
Make the lemon cream: Combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl. Beat until soft peaks form. Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
