How To Make Lemon Blueberry Cake
Choose heavy, vibrant yellow lemons with no soft spots or wrinkles when shopping for lemons. Store them at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week. A quick tip: Test the freshness of your lemons by gently squeezing them; a fresh lemon will be firm but yield slightly to pressure.
