Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cake

cream cheese- room temperature

Tablespoons all-purpose flour

eggs egg

sour cream

heavy cream

all-purpose flour

Tablespoons corn starch

baking powder

unsalted butter-room temperature

vanilla extract

milk

½ cups blueberries- fresh (if use frozen do not thaw)

flour- to toss the blueberries

full-fat brick style cream cheese- softened

unsalted butter-softened

½ -4 ½ cups powdered sugar

lemon

lemon wedges

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Wrap springform pan in double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent water from leaking in during the baking in a water bath.

To make the cheesecake pulse blueberries and cream cheese in a food processor, then transfer the mixture in a mixing bowl.

Add sugar and flour and beat until smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla.

Add eggs, one at the time mixing after each addition just to combine, do not over mix.

Finally mix in sour cream and heavy cream. Pour the batter into springform pan and smooth the top, then place in a roasting pan. Pour boiling water in roasting pan halfway up the side of the springform pan and make sure no water drip on the batter and bake 40-45 minutes or until the center has set.

Remove springform pan from water bath, then run a thin knife around the cake and cool to a room temperature, then place in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to cool completely.

Blueberry Cheesecake:

Preheat oven to 350 F, butter and lightly flour two 8-inches round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper circles.

Sift together 2 cups flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt and set aside.

Stir together milk and lemon juice and set aside to curdle.

Beat butter and sugar on medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

With the mixer running on low, add eggs one at a time and mix after each addition.

Add vanilla extract and lemon zest and mix to combine.

First add 1/3 of the flour mixture, then add half of the milk mixture, then 1/3 of the flour mixture, then remaining milk mixture milk, and finish with the flour mixture. Mix to combine after each addition, but do not over mix.

In a small bowl, gently toss blueberries with flour to coat, then gently fold blueberries into batter, being careful not to break the berries.

Divide batter evenly between pans, smooth the top and bake for 30-35 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove to wire rack to finish cooling.

Lemon Blueberry Cake:

Mix the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until no lumps remain. Do not over beat before the sugar was added or may end up with a runny frosting.

Add vanilla, salt and lemon zest and mix until combined.

Gradually add powdered sugar until desired sweetness and thickness is reached. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat until smooth.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

Place one layer of cake onto serving plate and top with thin layer of lemon cream cheese frosting. Place blueberry cheesecake layer and top with thin layer of frosting. Finally, top with second cake layer and frost cake with remaining frosting.  Decorate with lemon wedges and fresh blueberries if desired. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before cutting or else the cake may fall apart as you cut.

Assembling the Cake:

The ratio of wet ingredients to dry was off. The consistency in the video was not the same based off ingredients. I almost doubled the amount of milk to salvage this cake for my kids birthday.

I made just the cake as a cupcake and they were delicious!! They were a huge hit at my faughters graduation party! Thanks for the amazing recipe I will continue to share and use.

I made the lemon blueberry cake for my daughter on her birthday. It was very yummy, and I will be making it again in June for a friend of hers. The only problem that I seen, was that the icing needs to be doubled, as you can see the thin layers in the pic above. There was not enough to apply on all the cake. I will double the icon next time. Or at least do one and a half of the icing part of this recipe. Happy Baking!

I made this cake today. It was really really good! No issues with dryness. It is definitely dense though. The cake is super heavy. The color of my cheesecake was very similar to the picture. I just added more blueberries than what is called for to get the color I wanted. Add a smidge of purple coloring to the cream cheese icing and it'll go whiter. I also candied my lemons for the garnish vs using raw lemons. Super duper good. A keeper recipe for sure.

Es espectacular😍, gracias por recetas tan diferentes, tan exactas y tan bien explicadas

This was a delicious desert but soooooo labor intensive to make. I ve been baking for forty years and this one really gave me and all my kitchen gadgets a workout. Yummy but one and done with this one.

Cant wait till it’s done, but unfortunately my blueberry cheesecake part is super batter like in the center after 45mins. Should it have been a thicker batter because mine came out. A little watery but I followed everything. I’m putting it in for another 30.

Freaking delicious the taste meets with what the picture actually looks like. Everybody loved it this is a knockout recipe for any get together ( so you can show off) or just because you want something that tastes so freaking good!!??

I made this cake today for mothers day and it was absolutely incredible.  I couldnt have found a better recipe.  It was unbelievable ❤❤❤❤❤

Could this be  done like a two layer 8in square cake cheesecake??

Yes,  if you do not have a springform pan, a regular cake pan will work. All you have to do is line the inside of your cake pan with a long enough piece of aluminum foil so that each end comes up above the edge of the cake pan. Press it into the pan and get it as flat as you can. After baking and cooling your cheesecake, you will use the foil to lift the cheesecake out of the pan.

Beautiful fresh and light tasty cake.  Will definitely make again.  Yum!

Made this and I think I did something wrong. My cheesecake layer was very wet and mushy and my cake layers were very dry and dense. ☹️ Also, my cheesecake layer, made in an 8” pan, was a full inch bigger than my cake layers made in 8” pans.

Boo hiss!  I just made this cake, but I’m a farm girl and used fresh eggs!  Unfortunately the cheesecake turned out green!   Looks and tastes great but I really wanted that pretty color

This cake is delicious! Worth the work (and all the dishes).

This was fantastic. Highly recommend.  I ended up making it over the course of 3 days and it's still good. Cheesecake one night. Cake the next night. And icing the next afternoon. If you follow the instructions to a T it will be great. Only tweak I added was adding lemon juice to the icing because we like things with more lemon and it was wonderful, but not too tart because my kids liked it.  Only issue on my end was that the cake was a little dense, but that's probably a mess up on my end. I'm usually terrible at making cakes and this turned out way better than I thought.

I have made this cake twice now. The first time I too noticed the cheesecake color not being lavender/purple as pictured. 2nd time around I added a little more blueberries and pulsed in food processor until I got the color  I wanted.

This cake is amazing!! I just used buttercream frosting instead, but I added lemon extract instead of vanilla.

Loved this cake! It was my first time baking a layered cheesecake and it turned out beautiful and delicious! My mother loved it for her birthday!

I’m making this for my coworkers this weekend. With the frosting recipe, how many batches did it take to cover the cake? Also is it easy to spread and when piped does it hold its shape? Can I make the layers on a Thursday keep in fridge and decorate on Saturday or Sunday morning?

Cheesecake layer is good.  The cake layers do not have much lemon flavor or any flavor.   I prefer a lighter cake texture than this one.
Lovely cake pics, but I won't be making this again.
One star only.  Site will only let me give it 2 stars.

I made 2. One with blueberries and one with strawberries. Both turned out lovely and a bunch of my co workers are now asking if i can make them for them and they'll pay for them. Lol.

I made this cake yesterday and it turned out great! The flavor is amazing but I was just wondering if the cake is intended to be dense. I expected it to be fluffier. It was great but I just want to know if there is possibly something I could have done differently.

I used an 8" spring form pan too.  Purchased from amazon .

I loved this except the cake was very dense and the batter was extemly thick. I followed the recipe but I'm not sure why it turned out that way. It's very heavy.
I added lemon juice to the frosting to give it more of a lemon flavor. Overall I enjoyed the cake.

Made this cake this weekend.  It was really good!  Cake was super dense and needed more lemon for my taste.  Cheesecake and icing was divine!!  Plan to make again, but will add more lemon to the cake.  And maybe and additional egg yolk to help with moistness.

Made this marvelous cake and it was a big hit. I candied my lemons to garnish the cake. I used buttermilk as the liquid and  the cake turned out perfect   Thank you for your wonderful recipes. I’m making the blueberry lemon curd cupcakes for an office party next week.

Vera.  I just loved this cake it tasted amazing.  The flavors were perfect together.  I have never made anything like this.  I read almost every comment to get all the tips u could use.  . This is truly a 10 STAR cake.  I made it with all 9 inch pans as that is all i had.  The cake was thinner but tasted perfect.  I will go out and buy all 8 inch pans now as it will be my go to cake.  Thank you all for the shares.  I wish i could figure out how to post the photos

This recipe looks delicious! I will try to cook this one, thanks for sharing it with us. :)

I’ve made this twice and it is so delicious and so, so pretty. The second time around I added a few drops of blue food coloring to the cheesecake so it would have a darker color like the photo. Used frozen blueberries in cheesecake and cake and it turned out great. The cake portion did take 45 min for me. And if making in the same day be sure to save the egg white, it’s called for in the cake portion. What a special recipe! I’m taking to our Mothers Day gathering tomorrow. I am anxious to try it with raspberries, which also go great with lemon.

I made this cake for  Memorial Day.  It is a test run for my graduation cake in August.  The smallest pair of pans I have are 9.5 inches. I did not divide the lemon cake batter portion. Instead, I made it all in one and then cut the cake in half layer.  Also, I don't have a food processor and I put it the blueberries and cream cheese in my blender in whip setting. I would pause and stir it myself until it was spinning smoothly. Still came out great. It is delicious and will replicate. See Brian's suggestion on transitioning the cheesecake.  I was lucky my aunt was with me and she brought me a transferring tool.  (link below). Otherwise, I was planning to follow  Brian's instructions above. (Thanks to Brian).   Nailed it. Excelsior! 



I made this cake for my brother’s birthday and it was fabulous!  Not too sweet, just great flavor.  I had plenty of frosting.  The colors of my cake were not nearly as vibrant as the pictures that you had, though.  Maybe I should have blended the cheesecake batter for a longer time., but it still tasted great!

I'm a little confused. The video just says bake for 45 min. So I put it in a pan with boiling water AND bake for 45 min in the oven?

looks delicious!!!! can't wait to make it.....but gonna wait til it's a bit cooler.....summer in the deep south, baking for two days is not exactly my idea of a good time!!!

Vera do you have the high altitude adjustments for the cheesecake and the cake please?

This was a fabulous dessert turned out perfectly . Wish I could post the pic.

I made this for my sisters birthday and it came out amazing. Gonna make this again today, but try it as a cupcake and see if it will hold up. The blueberry and lemon is such an amazing combination.

Thank you for sharing this delightfully easy, mouthwateringly delicious recipe. Have baked this cake several times since I first tried it a few weeks back and it’s been a huge success each time!

I made this cheesecake for a friend yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! It’s quite the process but definitely worth it. I used fresh berries for the cheesecake but I think frozen would give it more color.

I made this beautiful cake for Easter. I put the cake layers in the freezer for a couple hours to make it easier to assemble. It came together quite well. I did end up with  a copious amount of frosting. I used lemon extract in the icing and garnished with extra lemon zest. It was well liked.

This cake was insanely delicious and perfect in every way. For the cake I used the McCormick small batch pure vanilla extract (Find it on Amazon) and the frosting I used Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon pure vanilla extract (Find it on Amazon) and the cake/frosting both were absolutely incredible. It's a small cake with each layer being only 8". When I make this again, I will probably modify ingredient quantities to fit 9 inch pans to serve more guests. I guess I'm being presumptuous but I ABSOLUTELY will make this again!!

I made this cake recently and it was a big hit!  I actually made it over 3 days and it turned out great. I did the cheesecake one day, the two layers the next day, and the frosting the day I served it. I kept the layers in the frig.  I doubled the icing recipe and it made a lot!  I piled it on pretty thick and still had quite a bit leftover. Once making it and realizing how rich the dessert was it would have been fine without doubling it.  It was pretty time intensive and pricey to make so will save for special occasions!  It is a beautiful cake!

This was a spectacular cake in every way.  i made it over two days and it was perfect.  They are still raving about it!

Turned out perfect!  Wish I could post a picture.

I made this cake and it was amazing. The hardest part about it was that I read the comments and got nervous that it wouldn’t turn out. I used 9” pans because that’s what I had so I just lowered the cook times by a few minutes and checked on them. I doubled the icing as suggested by one comment and ended up with a whole bowl of icing that didn’t get used. Very good cake, will definitely make again!

The recipe is so amazing and the cakes look so delectable surely will try out this recipe this weekend with family. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.

Awesome!!! I used 10 inch pans and rhey turned out great, just reduced the bake time and made a bit more frosting.

I'm a culinary instructor.  One of my pet peeves are students who follow a great recipe and fail, but state they followed it exactly!  NO THEY DID NOT!  In order to be successful with baking you need to understand how to properly measure your ingredients, don't make substitutions, have the correct baking pans, and understand your oven temperature.  This is a recipe that requires proper cooling time; overnight is best.  You can't rush the cooling and assembly process.   Also, you shouldn't go on a site and bash the recipe if you dont know what your doing in the first place.  How many times I've had a conversation like this with  "know it all, but failed anyway" students.  This recipe is amazing.  I made it;  it was perfect, and I'll make it again!  Thanks for sharing!

I tried this today.  My cheesecake came out about 1/2 inch thick and my cakes were maybe an inch thick.  My cheesecake is still raw on the bottom even after 1 hour cooking.  It's really gross.

I just made this recipe, and it turned out perfect! However, I did notice a few things that were completely left out in the recipe and video. The cheesecake layer needs a few frozen blueberries for the color. I did half fresh, half frozen and I got the color that is pictured. The cakes also need a few drops of yellow food coloring or food gel to get that desired yellow. The frosting turns a cream color in the video, but once put on the cake it's white. I dont know why she left out that you need to counteract the yellow in the frosting with a few small drops of violet food gel. It will create that nice white frosting she has. I also recommend cake flour over all purpose. It gives more stability to the cake and it doesn't come out tasting like bread/pound cake.

I have made this dessert several times for family and friends now and it is always a huge hit. I don't usually leave reviews but this recipe is worthy of one. It's so wonderfully addictive.
