Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (lightly floured)
  • 2 cups light creamy frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two or three round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Mix in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the floured blueberries.
  8. Divide batter evenly into prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool cakes completely before removing from pans.
  11. Level cake layers, then spread frosting between each layer and over the top and sides.
  12. Decorate with fresh blueberries and lemon zest, then serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor instead of bottled juice.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Toss blueberries in flour to prevent them from sinking.
  • Allow cake layers to cool completely before frosting.
  • Store the cake covered to maintain moisture.
