Blueberry Swirl Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze

Jul.posted by Paula 35 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Blueberry Swirl Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze, bright and sunny flavor of lemon, bursting with a sweet blueberry swirl.

You know how I love Pound Cakes. After deciding to make a Blueberry Swirl Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze, I shook things up by adding Greek yogurt coconut oil to this pound cake!

Yes, coconut oil in a pound cake! But, don’t get excited thinking it’s ‘healthy’. I only replaced part of the butter with coconut oil, the recipe still has butter in it.

Even with Greek yogurt and coconut oil, my Blueberry Swirl Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze still had the same wonderful texture of a traditional pound cake. It had that nice crust with a dense, small crumb center. As well, the blueberry flavor is not a strong flavor in this cake.

 Blueberry Swirl Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze

  1. First things first, when it comes to measuring flour, a cup is not always a cup. Please read this post on how to correctly measure flour.
  2. It takes a little patience to make. You’ll need to cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Also, add the eggs one at a time, sometimes I want to dump them all in at once, but resist the urge.
  4. Finally, allow the cake to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a platter.
  5. Complete detailed instructions are below in the recipe box.

Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

  • 1 and ¼ cup blueberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup water add more water if it's too thick.

Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons lemon juice

Cake

  • 3 and ¼ cups sugar divided
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • ½ cup solid vegetable shortening or coconut oil
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 and ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Bring to a boil and stir frequently. Boil 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Pour through strainer, mashed it through with the back of a spoon, You'll have to scrap it off the bottom too. It's thick using the amounts listed above. For a thinner sauce (for pouring over ice cream, cake, etc) add 1/2 or more water. Sauce will get thicker as it cools. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours or up to 3 days for this recipe.
  • For the cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 12 to 15 cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray with flour.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, coconut oil and Greek yogurt at medium speed with a mixer until combined. Gradually add remaining 3 cups sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add lemon zest and vanilla, beating until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture beating until combined.
  • Spoon 4 cups batter into prepared pan. Using the back of a spoon, spread batter evenly around pan and flatten in the center.
  • Spoon 4 T blueberry filling into center of batter, using the back of a spoon spread filling in a trench down center of batter. Top with 4 cups of batter, then another 4 T blueberry filling. Repeat process until all batter and filling is used.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in cake comes out clean. If cake begins to get to brown on top, tent it with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Let cake cool 20 to 30 minutes in pan before removing. Remove from pan, allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Whisk confectioners sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm cake.

    I know that coconut oil is suppose to be good for you but butter… butter in baked goods. I’m not trying to be healthy when I make a cake. Your brave the cake turned out well. Thanks for sharing it with us on foodie friday.

    Hi Paula, This was my first dessert challenge. It’s fun to see all the unique desserts chefs develop with the same edible theme! Pound cake is such a delicious canvas to play with. Great ideas on the yogurt and coconut oil! Greek yogurt also creates very moist corn muffins and coconut oil is yummy for meat and vegetable stir fried dishes. I too am plotting for peaches and cream next month. Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

      Thank you, Julie. I can’t tell the difference really in cooking and it’s so much better for you. I have started replacing most oil with at least some coconut oil.

    Yum! The cake looks so moist! Blueberries and lemon go so well together, don’t they? I probably would not have swapped out the butter entirely on my first go around. I guess that makes me chicken also ;).
