Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch springform pan for the cheesecake layer and two 8-inch round cake pans for the lemon cake.
- For the blueberry cheesecake, blend cream cheese and blueberries in a food processor until smooth. Mix in sugar, flour, eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in a water bath for 40-45 minutes.
- For the lemon blueberry cake, combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another. Gradually mix them together, folding in floured blueberries before dividing into prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Make the lemon cream cheese frosting by beating softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and lemon zest.
- Assemble layers by frosting between each layer and on top—garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon wedges.
