Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
6. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
7. Gently fold the blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
11. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar if desired.
13. Slice and serve the blueberry pound cake with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
