Creating this delightful Blueberry Cake involves a few simple steps that lead to an unforgettable treat:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

4. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined.

5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Add Blueberries and Lemon Zest: Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest with a spatula.

7. Distribute Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.

8. Bake: Place the pans in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool the Cake: Remove the pans from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 20-25 minutes. Once cool, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

10. Prepare the Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly. Finally, add the lemon juice and zest, and beat until smooth.

11. Frost the Cake: Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of lemon cream cheese frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides.

12. Decorate: Optionally, garnish with extra lemon zest or fresh blueberries for a stunning finish.

Now your Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting is ready to be enjoyed!
