Blueberry, Almond and Lemon Cake
I have consolidated some of the advice of other bakers in the comments and it led to a superb cake!
-Halved the sugar—the cake will still be PLENTY sweet, even before the icing
-Added a tsp of almond extract in addition to vanilla extract to really drive home the almond flavor
-Used the zest of a whole lemon
-Tossed the blueberries with a tablespoon of the dry ingredients so that they wouldn’t sink, then folded them into the batter all at once
-Cooked it uncovered for an hour
It was perfect!
