Lemon Blueberry Smoothie Cake

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! Like our Beetroot and Carrot Juice or the ever-refreshing Easy and Quick Iced Capp Recipe this smoothie-inspired cake will feel right at home. It bridges that gap between wholesome and decadent, blending fruit-forward goodness with cozy, cake-lovers’ comfort. Get ready to bake once and crave forever.

Okay, whisk enthusiasts, it’s gone time. You guys! This Lemon Blueberry Smoothie Cake goes right from the sun-drenched citrusy sip to your oven, one creamy bite at a time! Whether you bake it for brunch or serve it as a snack with tea, it’s light, lush and ridiculously easy. Let’s pull up those sleeves and dive into the good stuff.

• This cake stores beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days (if it lasts that long).
