Ingredients
1 box cake mix, lemon (I use white)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen (I use blueberries and raspberries)
1 tablespoon orange zest freshly grated
1 tablespoon lemon zest freshly grated

Citrus frosting
3 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup butter softened
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice freshly squeezed
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons orange zest freshly grated
1 tablespoon lemon zest freshly grated

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.

Grease and lightly flour 2 8 inch or 9 inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl blend cake mix, eggs, oil, water and orange juice.

Once blended beat on medium speed 2 full minutes.

Gently fold in blueberries.

Pour into pans and bake 30-35 minutes or til done.

Cool on rack for 10 minutes, then invert on rack (blueberry side up) and cool completely.

For frosting: Blend butter and cream cheese till fluffy.

Beat in powdered sugar and orange juice.

In a separate bowl beat the whipping cream till soft peaks form.

Blend whipped cream into frosting and add grated zest.

Beat til combined and frost cake as you would normally frost a 2 layer cake.

(Blueberry side of layers should be up).
