This cake tastes like summer. Blueberry and lemon is a delicious combination – one of my favourites. My birthday falls on or near the Canadian Victoria Day long weekend, (the unofficial start to summer), and I often choose this cake as my birthday cake. So perfectly yummy!

13. Let cake cool completely.
14. Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a glaze.
15. Drizzle the glaze over cake.
16. Once icing has set, the cake can be served and enjoyed!

    Recipe Notes
  • Do not over mix as the cake will become dense and tough.
  • Try to remove as much excess water as possible from the blueberries before you add them.
  • I like to use Becel’s Vegan Buttery Sticks.
