Method
Dessert Base
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Cakes
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Blueberry Frosting
Prepare Blueberry Puree
In a blender, puree the fresh blueberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and skins.
Make the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together until creamy and smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and blueberry puree, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
Add Lemon Juice
Mix in the lemon juice to enhance the flavor of the frosting.
Assembly and Garnish
Frost the Cakes
Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of blueberry frosting on top, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides.
Add Garnish
Top the cake with fresh blueberries and sprinkle edible glitter on top for a magical touch, if desired.
Serve
Slice the cake and serve to enjoy the delightful flavor and vibrant color of the Violet Beauregard dessert.
