If you love those typical Scandinavian-style cakes—very fruity and bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors—then this is about to be your new favorite cake ever. My Poppy Blueberry Cake is fresh, light, and absolutely packed with deliciousness in every bite.
I start with my go-to fluffy vanilla sponge cake that so many of you already love. The first layer gets a generous spread of homemade blueberry jam, which is basically just wild blueberries, a tablespoon of sugar, and a touch of lemon. It’s super fresh and honestly amazing even on its own! Then I add the next layer and spread on my thick, fluffy, juicy Lemon Poppy Seed Ganache—it’s bright and zesty, with pockets of extra juicy blueberry jam tucked in there for good measure.
For the third layer, I whip up creamy Greek yogurt, which pairs perfectly with the lemon poppy seed ganache and adds this lovely, tangy smoothness. Once the cake is all stacked up, I chill it overnight—because as you know, sponge cake needs that time in the fridge to get beautifully moist. That’s really where the magic happens!
The next day, I whip up my Wild Blueberry Ganache. It has the most gorgeous natural color and is so incredibly delicious.
I finish the cake in a simple, old-fashioned way—this one’s not about fancy looks; it’s all about that incredible flavor.
So if you’re into those classic Scandinavian cakes that are fresh, fruity, and full of natural flavor, I promise you—you’re going to fall in love with this one.
