Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1⁄2 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1⁄2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting the blueberries)
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
  5. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and fold into the batter carefully.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Dust blueberries with flour to prevent sinking.
  • Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer—no need to thaw.
  • Substitute buttermilk with milk + lemon juice if needed.
  • Make the glaze thicker by adding more powdered sugar if preferred.
  • Let cake sit overnight for enhanced flavor the next day.
