Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and dusting with flour.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then fold in the lemon zest.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Spread a layer of lemon curd between the cake layers and sprinkle blueberries on top before placing the second layer.
- Frost the outside of the cake with buttercream, garnishing with additional blueberries and lemon zest.
- Refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving chilled.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
