Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder.
Step 2: Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbsp lemon zest to the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined.
Step 3: Fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
Step 4: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
