What Does Lemon Juice Do To A Cake?

Lemon juice adds a tart, acidic flavor to cakes and other desserts. It can also help to tenderize the crumb of the cake, making it more moist and flavorful. When used in combination with other ingredients like sugar or cream, lemon juice can help to create a light and airy texture. And of course, it also provides a lovely citrus aroma. So, if you’re looking to add a little zing to your cake, give lemon juice a try!

Tips for Success for Making Blueberry Lemon Cake

• Use fresh blueberries – if you can, try to use fresh blueberries for this recipe. They’ll give the cake the best flavor and texture. However, if you can’t find fresh blueberries, frozen will work too. Just be sure to thaw them before using them. 
• Preheat your oven – this may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s important to preheat your oven before you start baking. That way, the cake will cook evenly and rise properly. 
• Don’t overmix the batter – when you’re mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake. So, mix just until the ingredients are combined. 
• Let the cake cool completely – before you glaze the cake, be sure to let it cool completely. Otherwise, the glaze will melt and run off the cake. 
• Store leftovers in an airtight container – if you have any cake left over, be sure to store it in an airtight container. This will help to keep the cake moist and delicious.
