Did I ever say how much I enjoy baking with Bisquick? I’ve tried this recipe two different ways. One was with flour and the other version was with Bisquick. The version I made with Bisquick turned out lighter, and it just tasted nicer overall. The cream cheese gives this cake such a smooth silky taste, and it will be a big hit for all those lemon lovers
Preheat the oven to three hundred and fifty degrees. Grease a cake pan and line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl sift together two cups of Bisquick, one-quarter teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of baking powder. Set aside.
In a separate bowl with a hand mixer, mix one cup of unsalted butter with one cup of sugar until creamed together. Add in eight ounces of cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Add three eggs one at a time until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Mix in two teaspoons of vanilla and two tablespoons of lemon zest.
Turn the mixer to medium speed and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until all ingredients are well combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Transfer the batter to the pan and bake for approximately one hour. (Every oven varies in temperature, so be sure to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.)
Prepare the glaze while the cake is cooling.
Glaze Topping
Cream four ounces of cream cheese and one-quarter cup of unsalted butter together until smooth.
Stir in one cup of confectioner’s sugar and one teaspoon vanilla and mix until creamy.
Spread onto the cooled cake. Garnish with fresh blueberries if desired.
