Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 0.25 cups fresh lemon juice
Additions
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional) Use for an elegant finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the dry mixture until it resembles a crumbly texture.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Slowly add this mixture to the flour mixture while continuing to stir until everything is combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking
  1. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  2. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Once baked, let it cool in the pan. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. If you don't have blueberries, feel free to use raspberries or chopped strawberries. Store the cake in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for best results.
