Lemon Blueberry Snack Cake

Most of the ingredients for this recipe are pantry staples that you most likely already have on hand. You will need:

• Sugar
• Unsalted butter
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Flour
• Baking powder
• Milk
• Lemon zest
• Blueberries
• Powdered sugar, optional

For blueberries either fresh or frozen can be used. If using frozen blueberries be sure to defrost them and rinse them before adding to the batter. Frozen blueberries are an excellent option to use any time of year. We like to use the frozen wild blueberries in our baking recipes.

• Line baking sheets with parchment paper. This makes baked goods easy to remove or lift out of the pan. Plus, it makes the pans easier to clean.
• Use room temperature ingredients when baking unless otherwise specified. These will incorporate easier into your batter than cold ingredients. This includes: milk, eggs, butter, sour cream etc.

Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Cake can also be frozen if wrapped well in plastic for up to 2 months.

No, if you would rather skip the lemon flavor just leave out the lemon zest.

Yes, wrap it well in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature before eating.
