i just made this and it is great!
i subbed gluten free baking mix for the flour, and the cake has come out perfect, nice and fluffy.
possibility that people are getting a dense cake if they aren't creaming the butter and sugar for long enough, or the butter is too soft and won't cream properly.

OK- I am completely new to all this,(blogging, not baking) but I made the Lemon Blueberry Cake earlier, and I just had to share! It was so absolutely incredible that I had to comment on it. I followed the recipe pretty much to the "T". The only things I did differently was to increase the fresh blueberries to two cups from 1 1/2, and I used pastry flour instead of all-purpose.
I read some of the comments regarding the 'dense' texture. All I can say to this is the following:
Take care NOT TO OVER MIX - even the 2-minute beating time on med-high after the flour/buttermilk addition seems excessive to me. The less beating, the more tender the crumb.
Treat the batter GENTLY (TLC works wonders!) after each of your flour/buttermilk/blueberry additions, and you will be rewarded with the most amazing, fluffy and delicious cake!
I also need to say that I used the freshest most local ingredients I could get my hands on after having visited the farmer's market (even the flour had been locally milled!)
Thank you, Dragon for the best lemon blueberry confection on earth!
Grateful & Happy, Jojo from New York.

I just bought some very tasty blueberries yesterday and was scouring around for recipes.
I fell on your exceptionally well thought out blueberry cake.
Just this week I had started my experimental 'Limoncello'...hence, a few lemons to squeeze.
Glad to have discovered your place of kitchen action ;o)
I'll have to come take a look around some more.
Flavourful wishes, Claudia

I made this cake and it was great. It was pretty dense, but still light tasting (if that makes any sense) But I agree with Susan, it was not fluffy at all. I definitely didn't overmix or overbake b/c the cake was not dry or tough and there was no tunneling. The only change I made was doubling the lemon juice b/c I took out the zest (not a fan of zest), but I'd add even more lemon next time b/c if it weren't for the glaze (which I kinda played w/ too), it would have had next to nothing lemon flavor. Definitely a cake I'll make again and I think I'll try raspberries next time...

Susan: My cake always comes out light. The keys are to not over mix the batter and to make sure not to over bake it. If you'd like more lemon flavour, just add more of the lemon zest and increase the lemon juice by 1/2 tablespoon. Thanks for trying the recipe. :)

Just made this cake and it came out just as your photo but it seems to be a very dense cake and if it had not been for the lemony glaze it doesn't seem to have a good lemon flavor alone. Does yours come out as I described or does yours come out lighter? thanks for all your wonderful recipes!
