Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.9 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.85 cup granulated sugar
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened room temperature
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice for batter
  • 0.45 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt room temperature
  • 0.67 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1.6 cup fresh blueberries pat dry if rinsed
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for tossing berries
  • 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar for lemon glaze
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice for lemon glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment.
  • Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk 1.9 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Blend in eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla, sour cream, and lemon juice.
  • Stir in dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry mix.
  • Fold in floured blueberries gently to avoid streaking.
  • Spread batter in pan. Bake until golden and a tester comes out clean, about 33–38 minutes.
  • Cool in pan 15 minutes. Lift out to a rack to finish cooling.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake, then slice.

Notes

Try adding 1 tbsp poppy seeds to the batter or swap half the blueberries with raspberries. For extra zing, brush the warm cake with 1 tbsp lemon juice before glazing. Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; freeze slices well-wrapped for 2 months.
