I just love the combination of blueberry and lemon. The zesty citrus flavor of the lemons combines nicely with the sweet, but not too sweet flavor of the blueberries. This blueberry lemon combo is the inspiration behind this Lemon Blueberry Cake recipe. I wanted to see the combination of these two fruit flavors in a moist and delicious cake. This recipe is the result! I know you all will love it.
