SPICE CAKE VS CARROT CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and grease and flour a bundt pan.
• In a separate bowl whisk the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine, set aside for later.
• Cream the butter with the paddle attachment in your mixer, gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time blending after each to incorporate.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract.
• While mixing on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream mixture to the butter, sugar, & egg mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. (I add the flour mixture three times and the sour cream mixture twice). Increase the speed to medium and mix until incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix, and don't mix above medium speed.
• Fold in the blueberries
• Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes if using fresh blueberries. Baking times may increase 10-15 minutes or more if using frozen blueberries. Check on the cake as it nears the 1 hour mark and adjust additional time as needed. When an inserted toothpick or skewer comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, it is ready.
• This recipe makes approximately 8-8.5 cups of batter.
• Combine sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
• Drizzle over the pound cake. (I spooned mine into a piping bag with the tip snipped away for more control.) Sprinkle lemon zest over the top. If the glaze is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add a bit more juice or a touch of milk.
• Garnish with a sprinkling of lemon zest.
