Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup blueberry jam
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the blueberry drizzle. In a small saucepan, heat the blueberry jam and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over medium heat until the jam is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the lemon glaze, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until a smooth glaze forms.
- Drizzle the blueberry mixture over the cooled cake and then drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Garnish with fresh blueberries, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
