Method
Add the softened butter and caster sugar into a mixing bowl and mix on a high speed for a minute until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs and whisk again. It may curdle but don’t worry.
Scrape the bowl down and add in the vanilla extract and mix.
Weigh out the Homepride flour and add this into your cake batter mixture. Mix again for 1 minute. This will bring all the curdling together and make a smooth batter.
Now, add in the lemon juice, zest and the blueberries. Mix well until combined, light and fluffy.
Spoon into a lined loaf tin and add a few extra blueberries on top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 160 fan for 40 minutes or until cooked through. Once cooked, leave to cool then remove.
Sugar syrup - Poke a few holes in the top of the cake. Mix together the sugar and boiling water then spoon over the top of the cake.
Mix up the icing sugar and a teaspoon of water at a time until a thick but runny paste has been reached. Spoon this over the top of the loaf cake.
Add slices of lemons and blueberries to decorate.
Last of all, using a piping bag and petal tip with a little buttercream, pipe petals in a fan motion to create flowers on top of the cake. Finish with some edible sparkles.
