By cooksalot

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
• 7/8 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter, or coat with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Combine butter, lemon rind and 7/8 cup sugar (1 cup less 2 tablespoons) in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.

3. Toss blueberries with 1/4 cup flour. In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining 1 3/4 cup flour, baking powder and salt.

4. Add flour mixture to egg mixture a little at a time, alternating with buttermilk. Fold in blueberries.

5. Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle batter with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serves 8.
