These Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Poundcake Cupcakes are to die for. I topped them with my Amazing Lemon Cream Cheese Icing. But this time I added a little lemon zest and to give it a delicious zing to go along with the with the blueberries in the cupcake.
They are so delicious I could eat all of them. But they are so thick, rich and heavy that it’s impossible to eat all of them in one sitting. Trust me, I tried. The only thing stopping me is that my stomach won’t hold them all.
My toddler devours them, and normally she only wants everything chocolate.
I’ve given these Blueberry Lemon Poundcake Cupcakes out as little everyday gifts, I bring them as housewarming desserts, but they are simply amazing at a brunch or for teatime. Just perfection.
You are going to love these. My toddler devours them, and normally she only wants everything chocolate. But she’ll have these because they are that delicious! The Amazing Lemon Cream Cheese Icing makes a world of difference. It is my icing of choice for almost any cake.
