Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries tossed with 1 tablespoon flour

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Mix in Flavors: Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries tossed with flour.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Cool in the pan, then drizzle with a mixture of powdered sugar and lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, add more zest to the batter or glaze.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used—do not thaw before adding to the batter.
