Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Add Flavor Enhancements

    Gently fold in the lemon zest and fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. 7

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  1. 8

    Dust and Garnish

    Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves before slicing and serving.
