How to Make Blueberry Lemon Cake 

This man is so at peace with the world and himself

Amazing recipe, THANK YOU!! my cake came out delicious, but next time I’ll put less sugar than suggested (man, Americans sure do use an insane amount of sugar). I made lemon cream cheese buttercream instead of just buttercream, very delicious and really elevated the frosting. (If anyone is interested: 200 g butter 200 g cream cheese, beat them in a mixer, then add 2 Tbs lemon juice and 3/4 to 1 cup confectioners sugar depending on how sweet you’d like it, and mix)

this guy is like the bob ross of the cake world. so peaceful to watch :-) love it.

Made my first cake watching your video during lockdown. 4 months now and I have a full blown business. Thank you. You are the best.

This man... I’m crying.... God bless u brother... no specific equipment... not so strict skills... doesn’t cream his butter for cake.... yet the cake turns out Great !!!! Plus his peaceful act... man... I’m in love 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hi John~My family and friends loved this cake!! I made it for my vegetarian son's birthday. They raved about this cake feeling it was a "healthy" cake to enjoy. I used the purple buttercream on the top and sides of this yummy light cake. I added a layer of lemon preserves to the middle and filled my two-layer cake with the white lemon buttercream. I used the white lemon buttercream to make the dollops on top, filled the circle with frozen blueberries and put re-lighting birthday candles into each peak of the dollops. I 'm not one to really prank anyone. However, it was soooo worth it to see the joy on my son's face and hear all the laughter. This is now my son's favorite cake! Thank you for this beautiful creation and for sharing it with us.

Already made it, it's delicious!!! So moist, and not too sweet. Love it!!!😍😊

I’m so glad I discovered your channel, all your cakes look amazing. And I love your positive energy.

I just baked this cake. Came out perfectly. I used my cake strips that are 30 years old. Thank you @PreppyKitchen for your totally amazing vids.

pov: you finished a unity development playlist

I baked this cake yesterday and I can’t tell you how delicious it was ❤️❤️ thank you for sharing your recipe with us ❤️😘

I also love that you make the cakes at 6”. This way we don’t have a lot of cake to eat! Your recipes look amazing need to make this for sure❤️❤️❤️

The recipe for this cake and the lemon buttercream frosting is perfect. My daughter and I made it for Father's Day and it was a hit! Everyone thought we ordered it from a bakery. I love your videos!

Your voice is so calm and relaxing... And this recipe looks amazing!!

So happy this was recommended for me! I thought this video was amazing, Professional Quality and unique because you did not cream your butter and sugar! The cake turned out PERFECTLY!! Thanks for your work!

I think I’ve become your biggest fan I literally love all your work and what a peaceful happy human being you are thanks for sharing your recipe 💘

Oh my word! Making this tomorrow for a birthday-I can’t wait. Yum! 🍰 Thank you for this recipe... your cakes are simply divine. So glad I found your channel, I need to seriously up my baking game.

I just love how u make a fancy cake looks so easy to bake !! I’m not a great baker but I’m pulling up my courage right now and going to buy some ingredients for that amazing cake !! Wish me luck ! And thank u for ur detailed recipes and tips !! It just shows how much u r investing ur heart into baking ♥️

I tried this recipe recently..this turned out AMAZING !! Everyone loved it..it was perfect !! The taste..texture brilliant !! Thank you so much !!!

He really is the best at giving instructions for his cakes! So easy to follow!

My 7 yr old and I made this cake this past weekend. The whole family loved it. I did ice the whole cake the same as in between the layers and I also piped the out rim on top and top with the same colors. The marbled looked was beautiful. Can’t wait to do this again.

That is one absolutely delicious looking blueberry lemon cake and I luv all your baking utensils.

I made this cake twice and it was my first time making a “naked” cake and using his baking strips idea on the second cake made the color so much lighter and the cakes were flat. At the time, I had to DYI the strips but have since purchased some and use them all the time. I even used them to make my 2nd cheese cake. Love this channel and John is very good about explaining and giving alternative methods. Thanks, John!

I made it for my birthday! I’m so happy! It’s so delicious! It’s now my favorite cake! You’re the best! Thank you! Your recipes and tips are awesome👏🏻

You really take pride in your work and all the amazing details, awesome looking cake! Thank you for posting this piece of art.

Since watching your videos my baking game has gone up 1000% this was Gorgeous

I made this cake for my daughters birthday and it was delicious! I bought the Wilton cake strips, and I was so happy with the difference- I didn’t have to level the cake and turned out so moist! I can’t say enough about your recipes. I got so many compliments and John, if I must say, you are by far the best teacher ever! Thank you and I can’t wait to make another one of your recipes 🍰❤️

Very smart trick with the flour around the blueberries. Great quick decorating tips also. Excellent.

I love all these fruit incorporated cakes that you make. I am going to have a massive amounts of blueberries in my future. I'm very excited about this. I am for sure going to be making this cake.

love your channel, your quality is awesome and delivery as well. You have the perfect tone and all! keep up the great work

Going to make this for my grandmother this Christmas. I am sooooo excited to try this recipe you never disappoint.

Sounds so good! Can't wait to try this one!

WOW this looks delicious. And good god, I’ve never seen someone with this much pep in their step! This is definitely going to be the channel to deliver me enough optimism to get through coronavirus 😅

You make it seem so easy to bake, and it looks incredibly delicious. Time for me to try baking this cake for my audience!

I love watching your videos! My daughter has been asking to bake a blueberry lemon cake and this will be the one she will make! So excited.

I made this cake for my Dad's birthday!! My family ♡'ed it! Thank you so much for the recipe☆

Dear John, I made this cake for my step son's birthday 2 weeks ago and it was super delicious!! The flavors, the cake texture, everything was perfect!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It is a keeper 🤗

Thank you!!!!! I was looking for this recipe for a long time. ❤️❤️❤️ u r the best!!!!!

I made this for the first time today. It's absolutely wonderful! I added some extra lemon and blueberry, and used a lemon, blueberry, and honey Italian meringue buttercream. The only complaint was that I should have strained the reduction. The layers rose evenly with no caramelization, even without cake strips.

I just baked last night! Enjoying it right now! I definitely made some mistakes as this was my first time baking something from scratch! But oh my goodness the flavor!!!!! It’s so incredibly moist. Thankyou!!!

This was the best cake I’ve ever made & eaten in my life! ☺️ Thank you for this recipe. I’m going to make your strawberry cake next! Delicious

Omg thank you so much for putting also the Grs ! You have no idea how much I appreciated

This recipe is so delicious! I have made this twice. The second time I made a lemon curd and folded into buttercream for between the layers. On this one didn’t do blueberry reduction but still fab!

You are my new fave youtuber😍 your style and the way you talk pulls me to your chanel more and more! 😆😆Keep up the great work sir!

I'm so in love with this channel. I made my first cake from scratch using your vanilla cake recipe and it was Amazing! I can't wait to try this Blueberry Lemon Cake. Looks so good 😍😍😍

I always use lemon Greek yogurt instead of sour cream( we never have it) And it’s so good!!!

Living for the aesthetic of your videos 😍

Wow. Beautiful cake and I loved the triple-bag piping technique!

Thank you so much chef Penny we love the taste and quality your recipe 🥰

I’ve made this cake 3 times already! It’s my favourite & so delicious!

I've literally just made this and I cannot tell you how good it is! The cake is so soft and absolutely delicious. Thankyou so much for all of your beautiful recipes, I will definitely be trying more ❤

Wow I just watched this video and I'm definitely gonna make this for my bf's birthday! I can't believe i'm just now following you! Your videos and recipes are fantastic!

I made your lemon blueberry cake with your lemon curd and Italian merengue buttercream recipe. It's very delicious. It's way better than this very expensive lemon and piña colada two tier fondant cake that I had for my babyshower. Also, better than most bakeries. When mine came out of the oven, my sponge cakes got a little dry when resting, so I made lemon simple syrup to moisten the sponge cakes and it was more flavorful. My family and love the vibrant lemony flavors. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I'll be making other of your cake and food recipes.

I loved this. I look forward to making this. It look easy enough for me to make.

I tried this recipe and it was so good everyone loved it it was so delicious thank you for this amazing recipe 💓

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe ^~^ I could never imagine that lemon and blueberry mixed up together in such a beautiful way. Your cake made my birthday just perfect. And this butter cream was the first butter cream that worked up with me. Previous attempts to make it just failed. Billions of 'thank you' :D

This cake would be great in the mornings with coffee❤️😊

Hola , gracias por compartir su receta, me gustó mucho como explica.. hoy preparare dos recetas suyas, espero me salgan bien ....slds. desde Perú!!!!!! ;)

OMG this cake is so delicious and beautiful! I'm making it for my mom's birthday and will let you know how it goes. I'm a little intimidated as I'm not a baker but I found your tips to be really helpful such as weighing the flour, weighing the cake pans to evenly distribute the batter, using cake strips (who knew?) and using two bags of frosting in one bag to get the two-tone. Sorry...these things might be no-brainers to a lot of you but for me, they were revolutionary ideas! LOL

Soooooo I attempted this yesterday & al through it was soo ugly & lip sided IT WAS DELICIOUS & I’m soo proud I actually made a cake from scratch ! Thank you for your easy recipes I am soo proud of my self can’t wait to try something else I also do your peanut butter cookies DELICIOUS
