I just love the tart lemons and sweet blueberries in this delicious Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Cake. You won’t believe how easy it is to make!

Don’t you think that fresh lemons and blueberries make the perfect pair for summer desserts? When I first created this Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry cake it started out as a lemon cake. It was very good but something was missing. I kept thinking blueberries might be the perfect companion to this already delicious homemade cake. When I added the berries to the cake batter, I knew I had a winner! The lemons and blueberries lend a tart sweetness to this cake. I added a tart lemon glaze to the top. My, oh my! What a wonderful summertime dessert!

If I am feeding a crowd, I bake this easy dessert recipe in a 9″ x 13″ rectangle glass baking dish. However, it is beautiful made as a Bundt cake! Check out these Bundt Pans on Amazon. Note: be sure you grease your baking pan really well. I like to use olive oil spray. It helps me to get an even coverage in the pan so my cake does not stick!
