Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake - Moist and deliciously tender lemon bundt cake studded with fresh blueberries.

Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake?! YAHSSS!ย This cake is unbelievably good! Vibrant and lemony and perfectly paired with sweet blueberries!

Guess what I am doing right at this very moment. Some of you might know because I told you about it last week.

I am most likely on a plane, scared for my dear life, and popping anti-anxiety pills as if they were jelly beans. Iโ€™m popping Tums, too! Anxiety gets the best of me.

But I have some serious news for youโ€ฆ

Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake - Moist and deliciously tender lemon bundt cake studded with fresh blueberries.

While I am away, visiting my beautiful home-country, Macedonia, for an entire month, I am going to have a few absolutely amazing bloggers guest post for me on Diethood!ย 

Wait till you see whatโ€™s coming; cakes, breads, puddings, scones, etcโ€ฆ I think you will want to thank me in the end.ย 

And, without further ado, I introduce to you the ever-so-wonderful, and oh-so-hilarious, Kita, author of one of the most delicious blogs I have come across, Pass The Sushi.

Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake - Moist and deliciously tender lemon bundt cake studded with fresh blueberries.

The first thing I thought when Katerina asked me to guest post on her site was, โ€œCrap! I donโ€™t have any awesome wooden backgrounds like she does to take pretty pictures!โ€ Then I thought, โ€œCrap! What do I make for a blog like Katerina’s?โ€

Told you she was funny!! Smile

Panic followed.

Ok, not real panic, more like a comical panic because when I think of Kate, and Kateโ€™s blog, I think of soft beautiful desserts. Breads that fill your house with that amazing smell while baking, colorful fruits that are healthy and delicious, dangerous desserts that I could easily blame 5 pounds on, family, warmth, far away countriesโ€ฆ The list goes on and on. And when I think of Pass the Sushiโ€ฆ Well, I think of explosions and chaos. (Hide it well donโ€™t I?) ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake - Moist and deliciously tender lemon bundt cake studded with fresh blueberries.

So, I really, really tried to come up with a post that would be like something you would find on Diethood. I looked through the recipes and images I have stashed away for something, anything. But nothing felt right. I looked through a mountain of recipes I want to makeโ€ฆ Still nothing. Meat pops, deep fried pork chops and mountains of pasta just would not fly around these parts!

Then I saw this beautiful recipe for cream cheese pound cakeโ€ฆ and with a little finessing, I think it will fit right in here with all the other beautiful recipes on Diethood.

ENJOY!

    Any idea of why all of my blueberries floated to the bottom of the pan and made a gummy top to the cake. I followed the recipe/directions exactly so I know that not the case!! Maybe next time I will place the blueberries on top after pouring in the batter and that way they will in the middle by the time it finished cooking.
    SUGGESTIONS? DID ANYBODY ELSE EXPERIENCE THIS?

      HI! This was a recipe contributed by one of my friends; I will forward the question to her. My suggestion: I put the blueberries in flour prior to pouring them into the batter and that helps them stay in the middle as opposed to falling to the bottom. Take care, Kate!

    Kate thanks for letting me kick things off while your away! Now that I made this post Handsome went and made me some ‘rustic’ looking boards. They aren’t the same as yours but I’m loving them! I hope your trip is fantastic!

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and awesome comments for my guest post today! I really did try to find something that would blend into the Diethood feel and it looks like I may have succeeded. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Great choice for a guest blogger-hello Kita! No doubt this cake is delicious-has some of my favorite ingredients that really sing-lemon, blueberries and cream cheese. Can’t go wrong with those. Well done.

    Safe trip Kate! We’ll be waiting for some wonderful photo recaps!
    And the cake? It’s right up my alley. We have a similar recipe that I’ve actually forgotten to make this summer. Perhaps I’ll just have to sub in with this one.
    I know what you mean about the background!! But as always, your photos are beautiful and magazine worthy!!

    This is a blog marriage made in heaven. I love everything on Diethood and on Pass the Sushi. You both have made me very, very happy. My first thought on seeing this recipe was, “Crap, I don’t have any cream cheese.” At least that can be remedied quickly!

    Kate, please be safe. I hope that you’ll at least be able to let us know when you’ve landed and are settled.
