BLUEBERRY CAKE RECIPE USING CAKE MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º and grease three 9" cake pans with cooking spray. Line with parchment. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, then stir in juice and zest of 1 lemon. In a small bowl, toss 1 cup blueberries and flour until completely coated (to keep the berries from sinking). Gently fold blueberries into the batter. Divide cake batter evenly among prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely. Make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat butter and 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Add remaining lemon juice and zest and heavy cream and beat until combined, then beat in vanilla and salt. (Add remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar as desired for texture and flavor.) Place a dab of frosting on cake plate (to keep cake in place) and place parchment strips on each side of the cake plate. Place down first cake and top with frosting, then top with second cake and frost. Repeat with third cake and frost sides. Garnish with remaining blueberries, lemon slices, and zest and serve.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter.
• Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the egg and mix until combined. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately and mix until totally incorporated. Do not over-beat. Stir in the blueberries until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl and cut together using 2 knives or a pastry cutter. Sprinkle over the top of the batter.
• Bake until the cake is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut into squares and serve with softened butter.
