4 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter; gradually add granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Incorporate eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl before adding to the wet mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing until combined.
Gently fold in lemon juice, zest, and blueberries (tossed in flour).
Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 22–26 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter; gradually add confectioners' sugar until fluffy.
Assemble the cooled cake layers with frosting in between, then frost the top and sides. Chill before serving.
