  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • ½ cup (120ml) lemon juice, room temperature (about 3–4 lemons)
  • 1½ cups (210g) fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugars until creamy, then mix in oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture along with buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix until just incorporated.
  5. Toss blueberries in flour to prevent sinking and gently fold into batter.
  6. Divide batter among pans and bake for 22–26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from pans.
  7. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla.
  8. Assemble the cake by layering frosting between cake layers and on top/sides; chill for 45 minutes before serving.
