The Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. lemon extract
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- confectioners' sugar
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in extracts. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Fold in blueberries. Spoon into two greased and waxed paper-lined 9x5 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
Blueberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice concentrate

Directions
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cranberry juice concentrate until smooth. Add the blueberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve the sauce warm or cold with the pound cake.
Note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter.
