Ingredients

For the cake:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup oil vegetable canola, or coconut oil
2 large eggs slightly beaten
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
In a small bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Whisk into the flour mixture. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
Gently stir in the blueberries.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Pound on the counter so the loaf cake is evenly set in the pan.

Place the loaf on a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes.

Drizzle the glaze of the cooled loaf cake. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

Note-if the cake isn’t done and the top is browning too much, drape a piece of aluminum foil over the top and finish baking until a toothpick comes out clean.
