Yield:
1 (10-inch) pound cake

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 2 cups butter, softened

  • 6 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract

  • 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

  • 1 cup milk, room temperature

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.

  2. Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light in color and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in lemon extract.

  3. Combine flour, baking powder, and lemon zest; gradually stir into cake batter alternating with milk. I like to use a spatula and stir by hand, mixing just until blended so the batter is not over mixed, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl often. Gently fold in blueberries; spoon batter into the prepared pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
