Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan (at least 2 inches high), or line it with parchment.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest until very light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla.
5. Mix in the lemon juice and sour cream until well combined. It may look slightly curdled.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix gently until just combined. Pour in the buttermilk and mix briefly. Do not overmix.
7. Toss 1¾ cups of the blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold into the batter.
8. Spread the batter in the pan. Scatter the remaining 1 cup of blueberries evenly on top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
9. Bake for about 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden, the cake is high and a toothpick in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil.
10. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust with powdered sugar.
