Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 cup plus ¼ cup of sugar
  • 4 Tbl. butter softened
  • 4 eggs
  • tsp. of lemon extract
  • 1 pint half and half
  • 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 8 oz. pkg. fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Coat a 9x13 baking pan with oil or butter. You can also place a piece of parchment paper on to bottom of the pan to easily remove the cake.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking powder together. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, blend 1 cup of sugar and butter together until combined.
  • Add in the eggs and 1 teaspoon lemon extract. Mix for about a minute until blended.
  • Carefully add in the flour mixture, ½ cup at a time. Mix until well combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Pour the mixture into the greased pan in an even layer and bake for 25-30 minutes or until center comes out clean with a toothpick. Remove from oven and poke around the cake several times with a fork. Let cool for 30 minutes. If preferred, you can transfer to a serving dish with edges at this time.
  • Stir together the half-and-half, condensed milk and evaporated milk. Pour over the cooled cake.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ tsp. lemon extract, heavy cream, cinnamon, and remaining ¼ cup sugar until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Spread over the top of the cake.
  • Sprinkle the fresh blueberries on top of the cake to garnish.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
