Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Mixing the Batter

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 5

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 6

    Combine with Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

  5. 7

    Fold in Add-ins

    Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

  1. 8

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Making the Topping

  1. 9

    Prepare Glaze

    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more lemon juice or powdered sugar as needed.

Serving

  1. 10

    Cool and Glaze

    Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the top once it's cooled.

  2. 11

    Slice and Serve

    Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
