Creating this delightful Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream Butter: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it’s light and fluffy.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter. Mix until well combined.

5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

9. Cool Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Prepare Frosting: While the cakes cool, make the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.

11. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of lemon cream cheese frosting on top. Add the second layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.

12. Decorate (Optional): If desired, decorate with extra blueberries or lemon slices for a beautiful presentation.

Following these steps ensures your Blueberry Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting turns out perfectly every time.
