Lemon Blueberry Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
  • 1 (16.25 ounce) package white cake mix
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup blueberry pie filling
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees F (or 175 degrees C).
2
Next, take a pastry brush and apply a thin layer of cooking spray to two 8-inch round cake pans.
3
Using an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, water, egg whites, vegetable oil, and lemon extract in a large mixing bowl.
4
Mix the ingredients on medium speed until they are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth, taking around 2 minutes to achieve this.
5
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pans and place them in the preheated oven.
6
Allow the cakes to bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
7
Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
8
In a chilled mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cream until it forms soft peaks that are almost as stiff as they can get.
9
Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill and firm up the whipped cream.
10
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract.
11
Mix these ingredients together using an electric mixer until they are smooth and creamy.
12
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and airy texture.
13
Take one of the cooled cakes and place it on a serving plate.
14
Add a generous helping of blueberry pie filling to the top of the cake.
15
Take the second cake and place it on top of the blueberry filling, creating a stacked effect.
16
Generously spread whipped cream cheese frosting all over the top cake to complete the dessert.
