Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

  5. Mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Don’t overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Stir together the melted butter, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Drizzle evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely in the pan.
  11. Mix powdered sugar with enough lemon juice to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
  12. Cut into 16 buttery lemon-blueberry squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the blueberries are fresh for the best flavor.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
