½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon zest (from 1–2 lemons)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking)

Glaze / Lemonade Syrup

½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp water

Optional Frosting

4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tsp lemon juice

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9-inch round or 9×13-inch pan.

2. Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream butter and sugar

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3–4 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest.

4. Combine wet and dry

Add dry ingredients in thirds, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
Fold in blueberries gently.

5. Bake

Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake 45–55 minutes (round cake) or 50–60 minutes (9×13 pan), until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 10–15 minutes.

6. Make lemonade syrup

In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice, sugar, and water.
Heat gently until sugar dissolves.
Brush over warm cake for extra lemony flavor and moisture.

7. Optional frosting

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice.
Spread over cooled cake.

8. Serve

Garnish with extra blueberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Slice and enjoy!

⭐ Tips & Variations

Frozen blueberries: No need to thaw; toss in flour to prevent sinking.
Extra lemony: Add 2 tsp lemon extract along with zest.
Moist cake: Brush the lemonade syrup generously over the cake while warm.
Mini cakes or cupcakes: Divide batter into lined muffin tins and bake 20–25 minutes.

If you want, I can also give a Southern-style version that uses a lemon glaze and streusel topping, giving it a crunchy-sweet finish perfect for summer gatherings.
