• 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup (180ml) whole milk
• Zest of 2 lemons
• ¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
• 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw; toss in 1 tbsp flour)

For the lemon glaze:
• 1½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (~5 min). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
  4. Mix in lemon zest and juice.
  5. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to batter, beginning and ending with flour. Fold in blueberries gently.
  6. Pour into prepared pan(s). Bake:
    Bundt: 60–70 min
    Loaves: 50–60 min
    Until a toothpick comes out clean (tent with foil if top browns too quickly).
  7. Cool in pan 15 min, then invert onto wire rack.
  8. Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake. Let set 15 min before slicing.
