• 3 cups all-purpose flour (375g)• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300g)• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch• 2 teaspoons baking powder• ½ teaspoon baking soda• ½ teaspoon table salt• ½ cup unsalted butter softened and cut into 8 pieces (113g)• ½ cup canola or vegetable oil (120ml)• ¾ cup buttermilk (180ml)• 2 Tablespoons lemon zest • ¼ cup lemon juice fresh-squeezed preferred (60ml)• 4 large eggs room temperature preferred• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract• 2 ½ cups blueberries (12 oz)• 1 batch lemon frosting or preferred frosting
Using an electric mixer, add softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, adding the next tablespoon only after the first is combined. The mixture will appear sandy in texture.
Evenly divide batter into prepared cake pans and bake for 30 minutes or until the surface of the cake springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in cake pans for 10-15 minutes before running a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen cakes and carefully inverting onto a cooling rack.
