Ingredients
- 14 tablespoons (1 package) unsalted butter softened, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 ¼ cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar divided
- 5 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 ¼ cups plus ¼ cup all purpose flour divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- fresh whipped cream for serving (optional)
Notes
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dry and dense cake.
- For best results, don't skip coating the blueberries in flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pan while baking.
- Zest your lemons before juicing them.
- Be sure to measure your flour in a measuring cup and level with a knife. You don't want too much flour, or it can dry out the cake.
- Make sure to cream together the butter and sugar really well. You'll likely think it's time to stop before it actually is. The sugar shouldn't be overly gritty and should be starting to dissolve in the butter.
