Lemon Blueberry Muffin Cake
(Printable Recipe)
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
zest from 1 large lemon
1 cups sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cups fresh blueberries
¾ – 1 cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp sugar
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Cream butter with lemon zest and 1 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Meanwhile, toss the blueberries with ¼ cup of flour, then whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the blueberries.
Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with non-stick spray. Spread batter into pan. Sprinkle batter with remaining tablespoon of sugar.
Bake for 34-45 minutes. Check with a toothpick for doneness.
Oh my, oh my!! This is wonderful! I followed the recipe and added a streusel topping (because it makes everything better 😋) and it disappeared in a flash! I’ll be making this again and again and again… Honestly there’s not a recipe I’ve tried from your site that hasn’t been delicious!
I have made this recipe too many times to count and it's been a success each and every time. In fact, I change it up for the holidays and exchange orange for lemon and cranberries for the blueberries. Definite thumbs up!
Actually, the only change I made was using frozen blueberries I had in my freezer. Still wonderful!
WOW, I made this yesterday for my husband's birthday, since he requested a "blueberry muffin cake" – I followed the recipe exactly and it was PERFECT! thanks so much!
Oh, this looks so-o-o good. What a treat it will be this week. Thanks for sharing 🙂
i made this recipe just this morning and i am in LOVE! LOL! thanks so much for sharing this fabulous sweetness! 🙂
I made this for a family Christmas Eve brunch (almost identical to your recipe) and it was a HUGE hit. I used frozen blueberries (I think I used about 11 oz. and just let them thaw and drain first) and it turned out great.
A little more sugar and a little more buttermilk is never bad. Looks delicious. Better than the mix I toss together in a moment of weakness.
My Putter likes biscuit tops.
I know you miss Marm.
Looks good.
Just pinned this ..Come on fresh Blueberries!!
Just pinned this. Can't wait for fresh blueberries.
So good. I made this last week and also increased the sugar and buttermilk. So easy too!

Looks delish! I thought of you in all my excitement while at The Walmart today….I went to grab a few jars of Biscoff spread, when I laid my eyes upon new Crunchy Biscoff spread! Pieces of Biscoff cookies throughout! Oh the baking ideas are endless….. Have you tried it yet????
Chrissy – I haven't seen crunchy biscoff spread yet. Thanks for the heads up. I am on a mission to find it today!
Can you use frozen fresh blueberries? Thanks!
I have been wanting to try that recipe. Thank you! I will try your version as it has been tried and tested. Love your recipes so I trust that your's is yummiest!
