Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Juice and zest of 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup lemon juice)
4 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, tossed with 1 tablespoon flour
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk; mix until well combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in lemon juice and zest and gently fold in the blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before drizzling with glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
