Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk with freshly squeezed lemon juice and set aside.
Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the vanilla extract, incorporating each egg one at a time while scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Begin incorporating the dry ingredients by mixing approximately one-third of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, followed by half of the milk and lemon juice mixture. Repeat, ending with the flour. Avoid overmixing.
Baking
- Toss the fresh blueberries with the two teaspoons of flour before gently folding them into the cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool fully in the pan.
Frosting
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Add lemon juice, then gradually mix in powdered sugar to achieve desired sweetness and consistency, adding whipping cream as needed.
Final Assembly
- Frost the cool cake with the cream cheese frosting as desired.
