Blueberry lemon cake

Here is another addition to our cake recipes list 🙂

Blueberry cakes are sweet n tangy in taste. The tangy taste is from blueberries as well as lime juice used in this recipe. I have used fresh blueberries in this recipe. You can replace it with frozen berries too.

The recipe courtesy goes to my dear friend Rubeena, who is an expert in baking cakes as well. Thanks a lot Rubz 🙂
