Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons lemon zest
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.25 cups confectioners' sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Before serving, dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
