CAKE INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs
3-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
4 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup milk
1 cup Pearson Farm Large Chopped Pecans
GLAZE INGREDIENTS:
2 cups powdered sugar
6 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
Allow butter and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a 10-inch tube pan; set aside.
In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a very large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture is well combined.
Beat in eggs.
Stir blueberries into the flour mixture.
By hand, stir blueberry mixture into the butter mixture.
Stir in milk just until combined.
Spread batter into prepared pan.
Evenly sprinkle over and lightly press the Pearson Farm Pecan Pieces into the cake batter. (lightly pressing will ensure the pecans bake into the cake)
Bake in a 300 degree F (convection) oven for 70 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes. Loosen cake from edge of pan with metal spatula. Remove cake from pan; cool completely on wire rack.
While the cake is cooling, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
Place cooled cake on plate and drizzle with lemon glaze. Enjoy!

Instruction for baking states: Bake in a 300 degree F (convection) oven . . . . .
Does this mean in regular oven at 300 degrees F?
OR
In convection oven at ______ degrees, for which no convection temperature was given? Thank you for clarifying this.
Can you use frozen blueberries
Sandria, stirring the blueberries into the flour keeps them sinking to the bottom.
Mae, any brand pecans will work but Pearson Farm Pecans will be fantastic!!
Elvira, if you use a bunt pan you may want to put the pecans on the bottom, we used at tube pan and didn’t invert the cake when we took it out of the pan.
Going to make this Saturday. Thanks
How do you keep the blueberries going to the bottom of cake.
