Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and line with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
In your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed. Then add vanilla extract and buttermilk until well combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until no streaks of flour remain. Then fold in lemon juice, zest, and gently stir in blueberries using a spatula.
Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow it to cool completely before serving.
For the glaze, combine powdered sugar with lemon juice in a bowl. Pour this mixture over your cooled cake once it's set.
