SO...I figured it was time to share with all of you...
Pretty straighforward...
Easy ingredients....
Super delicious...
Sort of....like....a biscuit quality...but very moist and melt-in-your-mouth delicious....
SO here goes...
1/2 cup unsalted butter..room temp
2 tsp. lemon zest or more...zest from 1 lemon..
7/8 cup + 1 tbsp sugar**[3/4 cup + 2tbsps for sprinkling on top]
1 egg...room temp1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cups fresh blueberries
3/4 cup buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream butter with lemon zest and 7/8 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy
3. Add the egg and vanilla..beat until combined...
4. Toss the blueberries in 1/4 cup flour...then whisk together remaining flour, baking soda and salt
5. Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time...alternating with the buttermilk...Fold in the Blueberries..
6. Grease a 9 inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray...spread batter into pan..sprinkle batter with remaining sugar...
7. Bake for 35 minutes...check with toothpick for doneness..note: baking for as long as 10 minutes more might be necessary ..let cool for 15 minutes..
This cake is a real crowd-pleaser...
The lemon zest really adds a delicate flavor...
This is a must try...
Hope you all had a great day...
