Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons (about ¼ cup lemon juice)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, tossed with 1 tablespoon flour
For the glaze:
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk; mix on low until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until no flour streaks remain. Stir in the lemon juice and zest, then gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- For the glaze: whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle it over the cooled cake. Let the glaze set before serving.
- Garnish with fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
- For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding a few extra tablespoons of lemon zest to the glaze or even folding in a handful of lemon zest to the cake batter.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the butter with Greek yogurt.
