- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest from 1–2 lemons
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 cup fresh blueberries if using frozen, do not thaw

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time. Mix in lemon zest and vanilla.
- Stir yogurt, milk, and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in two additions, alternating with the yogurt mixture.
- Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour. Fold into the batter gently.
- Spread batter in the pan and smooth the top.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool 15 minutes in the pan. Turn out and cool completely.
Notes
For a quick glaze, whisk 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tbsp lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled cake. To prevent sinking, reserve a handful of berries to scatter on top before baking. Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
