Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour

• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, cream the unsalted butter until soft and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest into the butter mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
