Old fashioned blueberry and lemon pound cake from scratch! This easy sour cream blueberry and lemon pound cake recipe is moist, soft, and buttery -- absolutely delicious! It's a simple lemon blueberry cake that's perfect for a celebration!
Add sugar, lemon zest, and crystallized lemon to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Press zest into sugar with a rubber spatula for about 1 minute to release lemon oils.
Fold in ⅓ of blueberry and flour mixture to batter until just combined, then fold in ½ of sour cream mixture. Repeat with another ⅓ of the blueberry and flour mixture, then remaining sour cream mixture, then the final ⅓ of blueberry and flour mixture.
Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan or tube pan with baking spray (or brush with cake goop -- see note below), being sure to coat all the crevices.
Spoon batter into pan and smooth the top. Drop cake pan onto counter a few times to eliminate air bubbles. Bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick entered into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare Lemon Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. If needed, add more lemon juice a little at a time until mixture is a slightly thick, but pourable consistency.
