The blueberry filling could be very fundamental to make with simply Wild Blueberry Jam and contemporary blueberries.
This filling begins with our favourite Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Jam and 2-cups of contemporary blueberries. Stonewall Kitchen’s jam has simply the proper quantity of sugar so the filling isn't overly sweet, and lots of blueberry flavor. Super candy jam or jelly might be barely cloying when mixed with the luscious frosting. The jam is gently warmed and stirred then mixed with contemporary blueberries. The combination is microwaved at 50% energy simply till the blueberries are softened but now not ruptured or burst. This methodology ensures the filling isn't overly juicy or mushy and the blueberries live intact. I don't suggest utilizing frozen blueberries for this recipe. The filling will find yourself rainy and bleed into the cake and frosting creating an enormous soggy mess.

Our recipe for Lemon-Blueberry Cake was created with three layers in mind.
If you don’t have three 8-inch cake pans, really sense loose to make use of NULL 9-inch pans instead. However for those who make simply NULL layers, I suggest utilizing half the quantity of filling. Or, really sense loose to ideal the cake with the rest half for extra blueberry flavor. I even haven't made this recipe utilizing 9-inch pans, so watch your baking time carefully.

To create the graduated color, first unfold the frosting among the layers, throughout the top, and round the facets of the ideal layer.

Finally, upload the rest tablespoon of jam liquid to the ultimate of the frosting. Spread the darkest frosting round the backside layer of the cake. I don’t suggest utilizing too a lot jam because it's going to make the frosting loose. Feel loose to make use of meals coloration for those who prefer.
