Frequently asked questions

. Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen blueberries can be used. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before adding them to the batter.

. Can I substitute lemon juice with lemon extract?

While lemon extract can be used as a substitute for lemon juice, keep in mind that the flavor might be slightly different. Lemon juice provides a fresh and tangy taste, while lemon extract has a more concentrated and intense flavor. Adjust the quantity according to your preference.

. Can I use a different type of pan?

Although a Bundt® pan is recommended for this recipe, you can use a regular cake pan if you don't have one. However, keep in mind that the baking time may vary, so keep a close eye on the cake as it bakes.

. How long does the cake stay fresh?

This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to extend its shelf life, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. Just make sure to cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out.

. Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Absolutely! This cake actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors have had time to meld together. So feel free to make it a day in advance and impress your guests with a perfectly moist and flavorful dessert.

. Can I add a glaze to the cake?

Yes, you can! A simple lemon glaze drizzled over the cake adds an extra touch of sweetness and tanginess. To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar with lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle it over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.

. Can I freeze the cake?

Yes, you can freeze this cake for up to three months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

. Can I serve this cake with whipped cream?
