  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 16 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 egg yolks (save the whites for the cake)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup salted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 4 cups cake flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup oil (used avocado oil)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 egg whites, room temperature (leftover from the curd)
  • 2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice, room temperature
  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 16 oz cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the blueberry curd as it requires cooling time.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries and lemon juice. Heat until simmering for 5 minutes until mixed.
  3. Mash the blueberries and strain through a fine mesh to remove seeds.
  4. In a separate saucepan, add 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
  5. In a heat-safe bowl, mix the blueberry syrup, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice. Whisk together and place over the simmering water, stirring constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
  6. Whisk until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Cover and refrigerate to set.
