Baking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare your two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and parchment paper.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate measuring cup, combine the milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes to curdle.
- Blend the granulated sugar and lemon zest, then add room temperature unsalted butter and mix until creamy.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the buttery egg mixture, alternating with the lemon milk mixture, mixing on low speed.
- Fold in the fresh blueberries coated with flour to prevent sinking.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake layers in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat room temperature unsalted butter until smooth, then add sifted powdered sugar, then lemon juice, and cream cheese.
- Once the layers have cooled, level them, spread frosting on the first layer, top with the second layer, and apply a crumb coat.
- Decorate with additional frosting and fresh blueberries before serving.
