BLUEBERRY LEMON CAKE WITH BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter and sugar three 8-inch round nonstick cake pans.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Mix in lemon juice until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing until fully combined. Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk with the mixer set to the lowest speed. Mix until batter is smooth, scraping the bowl down occasionally. Use a spatula to gently fold in blueberries.
• Fill the prepared cake pans evenly with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from the pans, about 30 minutes.
• While cakes are cooling, beat butter for frosting in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed. Reduce speed to low and add confectioners' sugar a little at a time, alternating with splashes of milk and vanilla extract. Mix until frosting is smooth.
• Spread frosting over each of the cooled cake layers and stack; then frost the sides.

BLACKBERRY BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Place blackberries in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Press through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard seeds., In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Beat in vanilla and salt. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add blackberry puree; beat until blended.

STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat butter at medium speed until fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and strawberries and beat until smooth.

STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. Defrost strawberries in microwave or overnight in refrigerator. Place the strawberries and their juice in a colander suspended over a deep mixing bowl. With a rubber spatula, press the thawed berries to force juice into the bowl. Strain the juice if it contains pieces of strawberries.
• Pour the berry juice from the bowl into a saucepan and boil the juice until it reduces to 1/4 cup.
• Transfer the reduced berry juice to a heat-proof container.
• In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, puree the remaining strawberries. Use a fine strainer to remove all the seeds.
• Stir the pureed strawberries, reduced berry juice, and lemon juice together. Set aside.
• Place flour in a small saucepan. Add milk, a little at a time, stirring well to remove lumps. After all the milk has been incorporated into the flour, heat the mixture until it becomes very thick, again stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Remove from heat and place plastic wrap directly on the milk/flour mixture to prevent a film from forming on its surface. Cool to room temperature.
• While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoons salt.
• Add the completely cooled milk/flour mixture and vanilla and beat until no graininess remains from the sugar.
• Mix in 1/2 cup of strawberry puree until combined, reserving remaining puree for another use.
