Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or non-stick spray. Dust them lightly with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans and tap them lightly on the countertop to eliminate air bubbles.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
- Add vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy and smooth.

Notes
Feel free to enhance the flavor by adding a teaspoon of almond extract or swapping half of the blueberries for raspberries. For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flax eggs or applesauce, and use plant-based butter. You can bake the cakes a day in advance and frost them the next day.
