Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest from 2 lemons (about 2 tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar)
  • 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment paper if desired. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in lemon zest and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  7. Stir in fresh lemon juice until just blended.
  8. Gently fold in blueberries using a rubber spatula to keep them intact.
  9. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  11. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer and toss in a little flour to prevent sinking and color bleeding. Allow cake to cool completely before slicing to lock in moisture and prevent crumbling. Butter should be at room temperature for best creaming results.
