- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/4 cup sour cream
For the Lemon Blueberry Topping:

For the Lemon Glaze:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- For the cake, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until well combined.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and pour in the cheesecake batter. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For the topping, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Allow to cool.
- For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of cheesecake over the cake, then top with the second cake layer. Drizzle with lemon glaze and spoon the blueberry topping over the cake.
Notes
- Ensure the cheesecake layer is fully chilled before assembling.
- Garnish with additional fresh blueberries if desired.
