Lemon Blueberry Cake Recipe
This recipe takes a bit of time to prepare but is well worth the effort to create. We use a 6-Quart Instant Pot to cook this cake, but you can use any brand of electric pressure cooker. Simply adjust the controls as needed to achieve this luxurious and bright blueberry cake recipe.
Take note that we call for fresh lemons in this recipe versus using a bottled lemon juice. This really does change the flavor and make it much lighter and brighter. If in a pinch, you can use bottled lemon juice and skip the zest, but we have to admit it is much better as listed. The same goes for using fresh blueberries instead of frozen. You’ll get similar flavors, but fresh won’t bleed into the color of the lemon cake. So, if you want yellow instead of purple cake, go for fresh blueberries for this recipe.

Hi, I would love the insructions for the Instant Pot. I read the recipe 3 times to make sure I didn’t miss it, but the printable, which says “Pressure Cooke”, uses the oven. It looks delicious and I love using the Instant Pot – as you said, a lot cooler in the summer! Thanks in advance!
