Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cake

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cakes are baking, prepare the blueberry cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries.
7. Once the cakes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the lemon cream cheese frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, assemble the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cake. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread the blueberry cheesecake filling evenly over the top.
10. Place the second cake layer on top of the filling. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the lemon cream cheese frosting, smoothing it out with a spatula.
11. Optional: Garnish the top of the cake with additional fresh blueberries and lemon zest for a decorative touch.
12. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the frosting to set.
