Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt). Set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer), cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix on low until fully incorporated. Gradually add in the dry ingredients until no streaks of flour remain. Finally, mix in the lemon juice and zest. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula.
Pour the cake batter into your prepared baking dish. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
For the glaze, combine powdered sugar with lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Once your cake has cooled down, pour this glaze over it.
