It's blueberry season and fresh punnets are an absolute steal - the perfect excuse to bake. These five delicious blueberry cakes are ideal when you've come home with more berries than you know what to do with: a 4‑ingredient blueberry cheesecake, a scene‑stealing upside‑down blueberry cake, an intense deep‑purple blueberry-and-lemon cheesecake, a pillowy Japanese-style cheesecake topped with berries, and a gluten‑free lavender, blueberry and lemon cake. Which one would you make first?
1 - Blueberry and Lemon Cheesecake
This blueberry and lemon cheesecake is one of my favourite cheesecakes because just look at how darn pretty it is! I show you how to get that intense purple colour (which is all natural by the way). This is an unbaked cheesecake too so it is super easy to make.
2 - Blueberry Cake
I absolutely love this upside down blueberry cake and I always make it when I have a surfeit of blueberries but it also works really well with frozen blueberries too. It is perfect for feeding a crowd and just look at how it glistens! Serve this with a scoop of your favourite vanilla ice cream.
3 - 4 Ingredient Blueberry Cheesecake
Sometimes you need a really, quick 4 ingredient recipe and this blueberry cheesecake is it! All you need is white chocolate, cream cheese, eggs and blueberries to top it and you've got the simplest, delicious cheesecake-pinky swear!
4 - Japanese Soft Cotton Blueberry Cheesecake
I know, I've got a thing for blueberry cheesecakes (obvs). If you love the downy softness of Japanese cheesecakes then give this soft cotton cheesecake a try. It's entirely different from American style cheesecakes and has a soufflé like texture.
5 - Lavender Blueberry & Lemon {Gluten Free} Cake
This blueberry cake is bonkers but in the best possible way. It's so moist that it's like a syrup cake. The secret ingredient is mashed potato! There's also a delightful lavender powder and the whole cake is also gluten free. It is finished off with a lavender whipped mascarpone cream, blueberry jam and fresh blueberries.
So tell me Dear Reader, which cake would you make if you had an excess of blueberries?
