Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Table salt
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cup Canola oil
  • 0.75 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
  • 0.25 cup Lemon juice
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2.5 cups Blueberries
  • 1 batch Lemon frosting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, add the butter one tablespoon at a time until the mixture becomes sandy in texture.
  • Slowly drizzle in the oil while mixing until fully incorporated.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Slowly drizzle the buttermilk mixture into the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  • Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Once cooled, frost with lemon frosting or your preferred frosting.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best results.
