Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding to prevent sinking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
  • You can add a lemon glaze or cream cheese frosting for extra flavor.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Let the cake come to room temperature before serving for best texture.
  • Slices can be frozen individually and thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
