Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh 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 an 8-inch round baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the milk and lemon juice.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the lemon zest and fresh blueberries.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Toss blueberries with a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for best creaming results.
  • Adjust lemon juice in the glaze to achieve desired consistency.
