Lemon Blueberry Smoothie Cake: Something about lemon and blueberry together feels right. It’s a pairing that screams freshness without trying zesty, bright citrus wrapped around the soft, sweet pop of ripe blueberries. Now imagine all that flavor baked right into a cake that feels like your favorite breakfast smoothie decided to throw on a sundress and join a brunch table. That’s exactly what this Lemon Blueberry Smoothie Cake brings to your kitchen: energy, elegance, and indulgence.
This isn’t your average “fruit in a cake” situation. We’re talking creamy Greek yogurt (or your favorite dairy-free swap) to give it that smoothie-like texture, a touch of vanilla for warmth, and a lemon glaze that deserves its fan club. Each slice is loaded with juicy blueberries that burst in the oven and nestle into moist, tangy, crumb-like little gems. It’s the treat that works for a chill Sunday with coffee or impressing your neighbors at a potluck. Dual-purpose dessert? Yes, please.
And if you’ve been loving the vibrant flavors from Oooh Delish!

FAQs: Lemon Blueberry Smoothie Cake
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Just toss them in a bit of flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking and excess moisture.
Can I make it gluten-free?
Absolutely—just substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Almond flour alone won’t hold the structure, so avoid that.
Can I use this recipe for cupcakes?
Sure! Divide the batter into lined muffin tins and bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
How should I store leftovers?
Wrap the cake tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring to room temp before serving—or warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave.
Can I add a glaze on top?
Totally! A simple lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice) adds brightness and looks beautiful drizzled over the top.
