Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter. Gently fold the coated blueberries into the cake batter using a spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for decoration if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For a halal buttermilk substitute, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
