Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup juice)

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, tossed with 1 tablespoon flour

Glaze:

  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice


Instructions

 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy removal.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk until fully combined.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until no flour streaks remain.

  • Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

  • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan or lift it out using the parchment overhang.

  • To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle evenly over the cooled cake. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
