Easy Meyer Lemon and Blueberry Cake Recipe

All you need for this lil beauty is a vanilla cake mix – yep, no shame here… and Meyer lemons and blueberries. Easy peasy Meyer lemon squeezy. [See what I did there]

I chose a gluten-free cake mix from Whole Foods, so I could enjoy it as well – however, you could choose ANY mix gluten or no and the same rules apply.

Simply follow cake mix directions – mine was also vegan, so I only needed olive oil, almond milk, and lemon juice… and add 2 cups fresh blueberries, zest of 2 Meyer lemons, mix gently, pour into a springform pan, bake according to package directions and voila! Easy peas…well, you know the rest. 🙂

While the cake is baking, you can make a little blueberry compote to pour over each serving… also super simple to make, and done by the time the cake is out of the oven!

Simply simmer blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice+zest and you have a delicious sauce also great served over oatmeal in the morning or over ice cream or directly from the pan. 😉

I hope you enjoy this lovely little cake – you will amaze even yourself with what you can do with a simple box of cake mix.
