Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups milk Can be substituted with almond milk for dairy-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cups fresh blueberries Gently fold into the batter.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch sheet cake pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Add the eggs, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mix to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring not to break them.
  7. Transfer the cake batter to the prepared sheet pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

For a vegan version, replace eggs with a mix of ground flaxseed and water (1 tablespoon flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water = 1 egg). Store cake at room temperature in an airtight container for about 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For freezing, wrap portions tightly in plastic wrap, then foil for up to 3 months. Reheat by thawing at room temperature or microwaving for 10-15 seconds.
