Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe

Low Carb Poundcake Recipe With Lemon and Blueberries

I personally love baking with blueberries! I pick lots of them in the summer and then stock my freezer with them.

When I do have a big batch, I always make blueberry syrup to use on pancakes, waffles, or mix into plain yogurt. But I wanted to try something new.

While looking for a recipe, I stumbled upon a few lemon blueberry pound cake recipes. That gave me the idea to use an old pound cake recipe I use for strawberry shortcake and adapt it to use blueberries!

Ingredients Needed For Low-Carb Pound Cake

All of the exact ingredient amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. First, I'm going to share some information about what I used to make this gluten-free pound cake.

Butter

The first thing you'll need is 2 sticks of butter. Let it sit at room temperature and soften so it's easier to cream. You'll mix it together with cream cheese and low-carb sugar substitute.

Eggs

This cake takes 10 eggs, so make sure you have enough!

Flavoring

To flavor it, I used both lemon extract and vanilla extract.

Flour

For the flour, I used a combination of almond and coconut flour. I think this makes the cake firm and not too dry at the same time.

Blueberries

I also used 2 cups of frozen blueberries, but you can use fresh ones too.

Glaze

For the glaze, I combined Swerve confectioner's powdered sweetener with lemon juice. The result is really tasty!

Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low carb recipe.

Quick Tips:

• Let the cake cool before you add the glaze. This is really important if you want the glaze to be thicker on the cake.
• Make sure you grease the tube or bundt pan really well. I used a silicone bundt pan and didn't have to grease it much.

How To Make Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

This is the perfect recipe to make when you need to use up some frozen blueberries. This recipe tastes perfect with fresh blueberries that you pick in the summer or even frozen ones.

This is a very simple recipe. All the instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Make A Creamy Base

First, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sweetener. Then, add all the eggs and extracts. Set that aside.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.

Mix Everything Together

Slowly add this flour mixture to the egg mixture. When this is well-combined, set it aside.

Mix In The Blueberries

Coat the blueberries in coconut flour. Then, stir them into the batter.

I ended up doubling the ingredients for the pound cake and added two cups of blueberries.

Bake The Pound Cake

The next thing you'll do is pour the batter into a greased tube or silicone bundt pan. Bake it for about an hour and 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Doubling the original pound cake recipe was the perfect amount for the bundt pan. And, the low carb lemon blueberry pound cake released from the ungreased pan with ease! I was very happy about that. I've had trouble with low carb cakes sticking to regular metal pans so I've invested in several silicone ones.

Cool and Glaze!

Finally, cool it on a rack while you make the glaze.

When the cake is completely cooled down, add the glaze on top and enjoy!
