We bet you’d never guess the secret ingredient in this lemon-blueberry pound cake! This genius twist on the classic dessert only takes 15 minutes to prep, and it’s all thanks to sugar cookie dough (yes, sugar cookie dough!). With just a few additional ingredients—sour cream, egg, lemon zest and fresh blueberries, to be precise—this one-bowl cake is ready for the oven. And don’t forget the sweet-tart lemon glaze—it takes this delicious treat to the next level.

More About This Recipe

  • One of my mom's family heirloom recipes is a from-scratch sour cream pound cake. It’s so moist and dense, and a favorite of all ages. Using Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookies, I was able to create a pretty good pound cake of my own, and I added lemon and blueberries, one of my husband's favorite combinations. This would be great paired with fresh berries and whipped cream. It’s classic yet modern, and will never go out of style.
