INSTRUCTIONS
CAKE:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer on a low speed, add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to batter, beating until just combined. Add half of the buttermilk, another 1/3 of the flour mixture, the remaining buttermilk and remaining flour mixture, mixing between each addition and scraping the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Gently fold the berries into the cake batter; the batter will be thick.
