  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 heaping cup of blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • GLAZE:

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter and shake about 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar around inside. Tap out excess.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon juice and vanilla.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and oil for one minute. Slowly add the sugar, and then the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest.

With the mixer on the lowest speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture.

Using a large spatula or spoon, gently fold in the blueberries . Spoon the batter into the bundt pan. Bake for one hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Cool for 30 minutes more.

Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Combine the powdered sugar and just enough lemon juice (up to one Tablespoon) for a nice spreading consistency. Drizzle the top of the cooled cake with the glaze.
