This is similar to the cake I baked for Sender's bris. It is richer, and easier - no weird ingredients. I bake this in two cake pans, and it's a showstopper. So delicious. It's straight from the internet, by Nellie Bellie. You will need lots of lemons!
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 c butter
2 c sugar
4 large eggs
3 T lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
2 T lemon zest (about 2 large lemons)
1 t vanilla
1 c sour cream (8 oz)
3 c blueberries, mixed with T flour. (1 and 1/2 pints)
Icing
1 1/2 T butter, melted2 c powdered sugar
1/3 c lemon juice
pinch salt
Grease and flour two cake pans, bundt and/or tube pans.
In sufficient size bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. (You will add this to the bigger bowl.)
In a large bowl, or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high for about 3 minutes.
Add your eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
Continue beating, adding a bit of the flour mixture to the egg mixture in intervals, a little at a time.
Add the lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and sour cream. Gently stir these into the batter with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Spread the batter into the prepared bundt/tube pans.
Bake for 55 minutes, check for doneness. If a toothpick in the center doesn't come back clean, put the cake back in for another 10-15 minutes.
Icing
Slowly beat in the melted butter into the sugar and lemon combo. Beat until combined well. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
Let cool a bit until the desired consistency for pouring.
Pour over your cake, sprinkle the almond slices, and let cool.
