About Lemon blueberry pound cake

Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake is a classic dessert often associated with American and European baking traditions. This dense, buttery cake features a blend of fresh blueberries and a zesty lemon flavor, making it a popular choice for brunches, tea parties, or as a sweet treat. While the cake is a rich source of carbohydrates and fats due to its sugar, butter, and flour content, the addition of blueberries provides antioxidants and vitamin C. A single serving (approximately 100g) typically contains between 300-400 calories, depending on ingredients, and offers modest amounts of vitamin C from lemon and blueberries, along with dietary fiber from the fruit.
