Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 teaspoon of flour and set aside.
In a stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and buttermilk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the glaze, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
Notes
Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting for the best cake texture.
