Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare cake batter in large bowl as directed on package. Stir in 2-1/2 cups blueberries and 1 Tbsp. lemon zest.
• Pour evenly into 2 greased and floured 8-inch round pans.
• Bake 28 to 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 10 min. Invert cakes onto wire racks; gently remove pans. Cool cakes completely.
• Beat cream cheese, marshmallow creme, lemon juice and remaining lemon zest in large bowl with mixer until blended. Fold in COOL WHIP.
• Stack cake layers on plate, filling and frosting layers with cream cheese mixture. Top with remaining blueberries.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter and sugar three 8-inch round nonstick cake pans.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Mix in lemon juice until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing until fully combined. Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk with the mixer set to the lowest speed. Mix until batter is smooth, scraping the bowl down occasionally. Use a spatula to gently fold in blueberries.
• Fill the prepared cake pans evenly with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from the pans, about 30 minutes.
• While cakes are cooling, beat butter for frosting in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed. Reduce speed to low and add confectioners' sugar a little at a time, alternating with splashes of milk and vanilla extract. Mix until frosting is smooth.
• Spread frosting over each of the cooled cake layers and stack; then frost the sides.

Steps:

• To make the blueberry compote: Add the blueberries, lemon juice and granulated sugar to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to soften and release their juices, about 3 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon to slightly smash some of the berries. Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook until saucy, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and let cool to room temperature.
• For the lemon cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture to break up any lumps of flour and to evenly incorporate the ingredients. Set the dry ingredients aside.
• Add the milk, lemon juice and vanilla extract to a measuring cup. Whisk to evenly incorporate the ingredients. Set the wet ingredients aside.
• Add the butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer to medium and cream the butter and sugar together, scraping down the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, allowing each egg to be fully incorporated before adding another. Add the lemon zest and beat until just combined.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry and wet ingredients, alternating between the two, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated, being sure not to overmix the batter.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Spoon on the blueberry compote. Use a butter knife to fold and swirl the compote into the batter. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack.
• Spoon the Frosting onto the cooled cake and use an offset spatula to smooth the frosting over the cake. Garnish with the fresh blueberries.
• Slice and serve immediately or cover and leave at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Add the cream cheese, butter, lemon zest and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Add 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar to the bowl and beat, starting the hand mixer on low and turning the speed up as the sugar is incorporated, until completely smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups confectioners' sugar and once again beat until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
