Directions

  1. For the cake: Preheat the oven according to the package instructions. Spray a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Fold the lemon zest into the cake mix batter, then pour into the prepared cake pan. Bake according to the package instructions (typically at 350 degrees F for 34 to 38 minutes. When a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, it is done).
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  4. For the filling: Meanwhile, add the blueberries, condensed milk and lemon juice to a bowl. Using a potato masher or whisk, mash the blueberries into the condensed milk until well combined and only a few whole berries remain.
  5. Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes over the top of the cake. Pour the blueberry mixture over the top, spreading to fill all the holes. Chill for 2 hours.
  6. For the topping: Add the cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon zest to large bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip until still peaks form.
  7. Spread the topping over the cake. Decorate with the lemon slices and serve.
