Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, 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 lemon zest.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Lemon Drizzle: While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Cool and Glaze: Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
