Who doesn’t love cake for breakfast? Cake should be considered a breakfast food don’t you think? I think we can all admit at one time or another we’ve had a piece of cake with our morning coffee or if you’re like me you grabbed a fork from the drawer and just ate a couple bites of leftover cake right out of the pan.
This Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Cake is one of those cakes you’ll want to eat for breakfast, or dessert, or when a sweet tooth hits in the middle of the night.
Not only is this cake super yummy but it’s incredibly easy to make. It’s perfect for a picnic, BBQ, potluck or just because. With just a few simple ingredients you can whip up this cake in no time!
This cake starts with a simple store bought lemon cake mix then we dress it up with some fresh lemon zest and poppy seeds and swirl blueberry pie filling in the cake batter. I use store bought pie filling but feel free to make your own.
Once the cake is baked and cooled it is topped with a fresh and creamy whipped topping with just a hint of lemon zest. This topping really takes the cake! Ha! No pun intended!
I have a weakness for fresh whipped topping and will admit that I make it all the time. There is nothing like fresh whipped topping. Yummy with some fresh juicy strawberries, topped on a hot fudge sundae, pound cake, or just with a spoon!
Sometimes frosting can be too thick, too sugary and really over power the flavors of the cake. Making this easy whipped topping for the cake is quick, easy and the perfect compliment to this cake.
To make whipped topping you just need heavy whipping cream, a little sugar and for this recipe a little lemon zest which is completely optional. Just add the ingredients into a bowl and whip it up on high speed using a stand or hand held mixer. In literally minutes you have fresh whipped cream ready to go! It’s so good!
If you love this cake then you don’t want to miss my Strawberries and Cream Cake! It’s just like this but with a white cake and strawberry filling. It’s delish!
