Pound cake is a staple in my household. I use this basic recipe and add any flavoring and/or fruit to make it exceptional. With this Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake, I just add lemon juice and blueberries.
A favorite of this basic pound cake is to omit fruit and add 2 tablespoons of almond flavoring. My favorite almond flavoring is the Loranne Professional Kitchen Almond Bakery Emulsion. My baking pal, Jackie Bone pointed me to this emulsion flavoring. Be sure to shake well before adding to your mixture.
The Real secret to this Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake is to have your cream cheese, butter and eggs at room temperature. And cream the butter and cream cheese until very smooth. While the mixer is on medium speed, pour the sugar in at a steady stream until all sugar has been added. Cream this mixture on high until fluffy.
