Instead of using blueberry pie filling I added fresh blueberries and lemon zest to cake mix and made cupcakes. I also added lemon zest to the frosting. We loved them!
This cake was a big hit! I substituted applesauce for the vegetable oil. The lemon flavor was mild but not overpowering. This did not taste like a box mix at all. I had a lot of leftover blueberry pie filling that we used to spoon over the slices of cake. So yummy!

This cake was light and moist and lemony! The frosting was perfect! I think next time I make it I will double the amount of blueberry filling as there was not enough blueberry flavor for my liking. We just did as another reviewer suggested and served leftover filling on the side. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Cake was a little dry so I'd probably go with the previous commenter's suggestion of using applesauce vice vegetable oil.
This recipe is super easy. I added about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and lemon zest to the frosting and the same for the cake batter. Came out light and delicious.
I made it with a little lemon zest in the cake in addition to the lemon extract and it turned out great!
I made this for my wife for Valentine's Day. It was super easy to make. For me the "hardest" part was fancying up the cake with two rings of fresh blueberries for the wow factor. I've made many outstanding delicious cakes from scratch. My wife says this one is her favorite! LOL. It is delicious! Very lite tasting cake. I followed directions exactly other than putting fresh blueberries around perimeter.
I just made this cake today for my daughter's boyfriend's birthday. The frosting is amazing, lightly sweet and very creamy. I slightly altered the frosting by using blueberry cream cheese, it is delicious!! Thanks for sharing!!
The frosting is a basic cream cheese frosting. Perfect top to this fabulous summer dessert. Easy and delish!
