  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1⅔ cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare three 6-inch round cake pans by buttering and flouring them.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, sour cream, egg whites, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss one tablespoon of this mixture with blueberries in a small bowl.
  4. Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until sandy in texture.
  5. Slowly incorporate the wet mixture until just combined; fold in the coated blueberries gently.
  6. Divide the batter among the pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until springy to touch.
  7. Cool cakes briefly before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
