Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake pan. For a layer cake, line the bottom of the cake tins with rounds of parchment paper. Then grease and flour the sides of the pans.
- In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- Combine the buttermilk and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk with a fork and set aside.
- In a large bowl beat together the butter, sugar and lemon zest until fluffy. (About 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs 1 at a time.
- With the mixer on low speed, beat about 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Then mix in about 1/2 of the milk and lemon juice mixture. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Repeat the process. Do not overmix.
- Toss the blueberries with the 2 teaspoons of flour, then gently fold into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan/pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes for a 9x13 inch pan or about 25-30 minutes for layer cakes.
- Cool the cakes in the pan. Be very careful when inserting the pans.
- Beat the butter until soft, then mix in the cream cheese and lemon juice. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until desired sweetness is reached.
- Frost the cooled cake with frosting.
- Slice with a thin, sharp knife.
