Instructions

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Lemon Blueberry Cake sliced and enjoy!
